YIKES! The snitching on one another has begun - better behave on the job, in the street, at home - or your plumber or mailman might turn you in!

The federally supported initiative trains them to look out for “observed behavior that may be indicative of intelligence-gathering or pre-operational planning related to terrorism.” The list of suspicious behaviors includes taking photographs or videos of no apparent aesthetic value; making measurements, drawings, or taking notes; and conversing in code.

According to “The Denver Post” the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is advocating for a nation-wide implementation of the program. But civil liberties watchdogs have come out strongly against the initiative calling it an expansion of domestic surveillance.
