cash is suspicious, good stuff to know.

Cash may still be legal, but I bet you stop using it pretty soon.

Let them report me, it will add to the fact that Homeland has already labeded veterans as potential terrorist

Here is a link to the actual flier so you don't have to read the interps in the articles....this is what the gov wants us to know and what we can do about it. It does go beyond coffee, like if you look at maps on the internet or play video games where you have to communicate with others.

It does seem like this has the potential to have people calling the gov on people that are not dangerous, doesn't it. I am just not clear on how we will pay for all the research that will result from the reporting of so many. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce the reporting of innocents? Obviously you would use your best judgement and not report everyone, but still, seems like they could get a lot of reports?

Via the logic of the time, veterans are well trained with weaponry and attacking and many were required to serve longer than they would have elected to on their own, so thus there could be grudges. Based on history before 9-11, the biggest domestic attack prior was from a veteran. I am not saying it is justified to suspect all veterans, but given the FBI posting, it would be more than consistant. If we live in a time where everyone is a potential terrerist, then it does kinda make sense. I have nothing against vets, just if we are all suspects, that does not disclude vets, by any means.

According to the posting, sites like this, where we do not use our real names, are a little off.

How in the world would you report someone paying with cash? If I pay with cash, they don't know my name!

If they are worried about cash paying customers, they should just arrest Dave Ramsey and get the list of everyone who has ever been to his seminars!

The posters state that you can use tools like looking at one's licence plate and reporting that. They could describe you, what time you come, describe your car and using this information, one could follow up and do an investigation on you, follow you and figure out who you are....they could observe one phone number you dialed, you might mention your name or the name of an associate on the phone. I could note that you talked with another customer who used their card, thus that person may be able to be interviewed to find out who you are.

...but you knew that. Just think of what you would do if a woman wacked her kid in the grocery and then they quickly left. Something tells me the woman would be found using the methods above.

Now that I typed all that, it sounds like the cost of a cup of coffee is going up again, the job of pouring it just got quite entailed.

Wow... I want to be a citizen agent...

Gather information about individuals without drawing attention to yourself

Identify license plates, vehicle description, names used, languages spoken, ethnicity, etc. (Names like "Popcorn Eater" is a dead giveaway)

Do not collect metadata, content, or search electronic communications of individuals

Do not do additional logging of online activity or monitor communications

If something seems wrong, notify law enforcement authorities.

I would advise everyone to also pay attention to people at Starbucks and McDonalds where they have public access.

Seems to me (though I am not an expert) that it would be easier to report someone that uses a debit/credit card.

Last year I was reading so many stories about credit card info being stolen, the wife & I switched over to cash for most of our transactions. Must have raised red flags all over the place.

From the flyer:
