How can I avoid using these words — they’re everything I’m interested in. And if this is the case, it’s too late anyway. DHS has probably already been here, many times:
REVEALED: Hundreds of words to avoid using online if you don’t want the government spying on you – The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S. The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as ‘attack’, ‘Al Qaeda’, ‘terrorism’ and ‘dirty bomb’ alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like ‘pork’, ‘cloud’, ‘team’ and ‘Mexico’.

Spokesman Matthew Chandler told [the] website: ‘To ensure clarity, as part of … routine compliance review, DHS will review the language contained in all materials to clearly and accurately convey the parameters and intention of the program.’
