How to Think Like a Security "Expert"

This is sadly funny...
Tennessee anti-terrorism officials put ACLU on map of "terrorism events and other suspicious activity"

by Cory Doctorow

Ho ho ho: Tennessee anti-terrorist official gave the ACLU of Tennessee a hell of a Christmas present: according to them, the ACLU belongs on a map of terrorism events and other suspicious activity: "Equating a group's attempts to protect religious freedom in Tennessee with suspicious activity related to terrorism is outrageous. Religious freedom is a founding principle in our Constitution -- not fodder for overzealous law enforcement."
It would be funny if it were just a joke. But sadly it is a fact. It says volumes about the paranoia in the US and the profound stupidity of the security bureaucracy.
