Uncle Sam admits monitoring you for these 377 words:

One of breakout standup routines from the late, great George Carlin was his 1972 monologue “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.” In the presence of polite company, I shall not repeat them… but rest assured, the routine is still hilarious to this day.

I wish I could say the same about the Department of Homeland Security… I wish I could say this is all a big joke… that the government’s “377 words you can never use online” is just some stupid comedy routine.

But it’s not. And you just can’t make this stuff.

I might just have my computer service cancelled anyway.This is getting ridiculous.Too many gov employees trying to justify their positions and coming up with all kinds of crazy ideas.99.999% of us are completely harmless.

7:31-They are the ones who encript their messages.Thats app 35 people in a town the size of Salisbury,so actually that's a lot.Any one of those people could pose a viable threat.Anyone with a code book can decipher a message relevant to that specific code,so targeting a specific group of words is of no benefit whatsoever.
