anti-tips

It was only a matter of time before someone set up a satire page dealing with the Terrorism Information and Prevention System (TIPS). Now you too can report TIPS informants. (via greplaw)

Later: It appears that the TIPS program, which would have used volunteers to conduct domestic surveillance has been scrapped. The links from Brad Templeton's site above (with the interesting domain name "www.all-the-other-names-were-taken.com") still make for some good reading. In addition to being the chairman of the EFF, he also started the newsgroup rec.humor.funny.
