The FBI and their would-be tipsters could be flat out trying
investigate everyone who uses encryption, anonymizer and privacy tools
on the Internet, or changes SIM cards in their mobile phone!  At least
"wearing T-shirts with inscrutable slogans" isn't on the list yet or
we'd all be rounded up...

Seriously - who writes this stuff?
Dear Alan,

I can't help but imagine Jeff Foxworthy saying:

"You might be a redneck if you think someone--
  concerned about privacy
  signing on to Comcast or AOL
  paying using cash
  changing their SIM card
  concealing data in photos (is there an app for that?)
  purchasing chemicals
  reading equipment manuals
  reading revolutionary literature
  writing program code
  watching attack coverage
  looking at stadium seating maps
--might be a terrorist.

Call (888) 705-JRIC and mention "redneck". :^)

Regards,
Douglas Otis
