- TheMachine1, on 05/04/2009, -3/+252Does the FBI monitor Digg? I'm considering ripping the tags off my mattress tonight?
- FBIPressOffice, on 05/04/2009, -0/+148Yes, we do. But the real reason those tags are on there is so once people rip them off, it activates the ...
Nevermind. As you were. - TylerDuhrdan, on 05/04/2009, -9/+145I am watching an episode of modern marvels right now, and it is on Paint, yes Paint, and that is by far more interesting than Twitter, and this submission.
- kinerry, on 05/04/2009, -5/+128Not as bad as AT&T
- thedarkrabbit, on 05/04/2009, -10/+122No... that's just the money you could be saving with Geico.
- TheMachine1, on 05/04/2009, -1/+107I'm keeping it cryptic enough to maintain plausible deniability.
- OriginalLucid1, on 05/04/2009, -3/+80Last year that headline would have read "Bush and Cheney are following you on twitter..."
- Xugg, on 05/04/2009, -1/+74You are free to do whatever with the tags on the mattresses AFTER you purchase them, you know...
- Zarokima, on 05/04/2009, -0/+57You make eye contact, and you keep still, because you think his vision is based on motion. But no, you stare at him and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two you didn't even know were there.
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -3/+54Oh Noe! the FBI PRESS RELATION is doing what the ***** it was created to do!
POLICE STATE! POLICE STATE! - thescimitar, on 05/04/2009, -1/+51That's right Rivfader. Absolutely. In fact, I have a modest proposal: we should rig handguns to every US citizen's head, and the second they have the thought of committing a crime, boom, instant justice. Because, afterall, "the only people that should be worried about this are people that have something to hide."
- Rudegar, on 05/04/2009, -0/+49cool my first twitter follower! :)
- spepin, on 05/04/2009, -1/+50Well, that doesn't seem very sneaky, now does it.
- illuminachos, on 05/04/2009, -0/+44ripping mattress tags helps the terrorists win!
- nudedos, on 05/04/2009, -10/+52Good.
- pathy, on 05/04/2009, -0/+39If you think they're in front of you, you won't look over your shoulder.
Dun dun DUN! - FBIPressOffice, on 05/04/2009, -0/+37"I don't recall seeing a question mark at the end of his sentence, Your Honor."
- xxpor, on 05/04/2009, -2/+38If you put anything on twitter that the FBI should not see, you are a dumbass anyway.
Belive me, I am one of the biggest defenders of right w/ regards to phone tapping, habius corpus and such, but this doesnt surprise me very much. - diggydougie, on 05/04/2009, -0/+35They ruined the joke by changing the tags to read "...except by the consumer".
- spepin, on 05/04/2009, -0/+33Clever girl...
- Travelsonic, on 05/04/2009, -0/+32Riv,
That would be all 6.8 billion people on Earth.
You idiot, everybody has something to hide, that is the IDEA of privacy. - NoNom, on 05/04/2009, -0/+31It is never "what do you have to hide?", it's "why do you need to know?"
- shauncorleone, on 05/04/2009, -1/+32So the FBI is tracking mentions of the agency, just like every company in any industry. I mentioned Budweiser and Coors a couple weekends ago, @BudweiserBeers retweeted me and both corporate users started following me.
This is no surprise and about as big a deal as tracking down whoever first uploaded the Susan Boyle video. - inactive, on 05/04/2009, -1/+31... or Sprint, which provides the peerless IP backhaul for the FBI's DCSnet, which at the click of a button enables an agent to pretty much tap *any* phone in the US, cellular or landline.
- kruykaze, on 05/04/2009, -2/+31Awesome someone took the time to get a new digg nick just to reply to this. :D
- Darkkshadow449, on 05/04/2009, -0/+27You have to give it to them though, they can make ANYTHING interesting. :D
- DivisibleByZero, on 05/04/2009, -0/+25That's one of the things I like about twitter. Gets meaningful customer service when companies do that. Having somebody answering questions about the FBI seems pretty cool too.
It didn't work out so well the time that @ieteam decided to interject in my conversation about what a massive pile of ***** IE8 is.... - serif69, on 05/04/2009, -0/+23I'm Ron Burgundy?
- FBIPressOffice, on 05/04/2009, -1/+24Actually, we did look at her webcam. She's actually on HotOrNot.com now, with a rating of about a 3.7
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -0/+21Since you capitalized Paint, can I assume you are referring to MS-Paint? Because that's truly a modern marvel.
- twiztidsinz, on 05/04/2009, -0/+20I was at an event at the WHITEHOUSE the other day, it was the BOMB yo!
I wonder whatever happened to the metal band ANTHRAX... they were pretty good. I especially like the song they did with PUBLIC ENEMY. I bet OBAMA likes that song. - FelixdaaHack, on 05/04/2009, -0/+20only the RIAA & MPAA have the authority to tell the FBI what cases to prosecute, mattress lobby isn't powerful enough
- SirFragsMore, on 05/04/2009, -0/+19Do you at least get to watch it dry?
- FBIPressOffice, on 05/04/2009, -1/+20I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult.
Let's go with a threat to national security. You're coming with me. - Nattybumpoe, on 05/04/2009, -6/+25Bew... More twitter stories.
- danwallace, on 05/04/2009, -4/+23Nah, I'll laugh at that too.
- skinny01, on 05/04/2009, -0/+17What about if you stole the mattresses and then rip off the tags, do you get in double trouble?
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -1/+18http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCSNet
I dont know why you got dug down labsone. Oh wait yes I do... - greenvortex, on 05/04/2009, -1/+18Criminals and terrorists use Twitter to plan their evil schemes? Really?
- twiztidsinz, on 05/04/2009, -0/+17FBI wants to know if you're poopin' or making a sandwich.
- Jektal, on 05/04/2009, -0/+16Did you get free beer? Cause if you did, I've got some twatting to do!
- dlan4327, on 05/04/2009, -1/+17So long as it's plausible.
- HonoredMule, on 05/04/2009, -0/+15Oh noes, not the Crim Center! I swear, I was just holding the crim for a friend.
- v3rtex7740, on 05/04/2009, -0/+15You just made 18 square miles of computers monitoring communications underneath Fort Mead explode. Good job, TERRORIST.
- mountain1488, on 05/04/2009, -1/+16Me too. We're all laughing at you jordanlgta.
- MrColdheart, on 05/04/2009, -0/+14I would assume that the FBI doesn't "troll" digg or twitter but it's more believable that they have some form of getting real time broadcast from social websites based on trigger words.
Like a digital trip mine, they only monitor what falls into certain criteria.
- SoundJudgment, on 05/04/2009, -0/+13It's from Jack Bauer. He's dying from his exposure to the toxic-pathogen and needs your help!
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -1/+13Mommy!!! Twitter haters are bothering me!!!
- apzdsx, on 05/04/2009, -0/+12Your mother is dead, killed by a tweet over 140 characters in length.
- dlan4327, on 05/04/2009, -8/+20Sorry was the 2nd part meant to be a question? Are you asking whether you should consider ripping of your mattress tags?
