At least one person on INGO has a sig line that's full of trigger words designed to overtax government surveillance systems by forcing it to process and at least actively discard posts that in fact have no national security import whatsoever. This is a noble goal, but it rather short sighted.
It's short sighted in that it uses only a tiny fraction of all of the keywords the DHS now publishes as its list of trigger words. To wit:

Some are duplicated from one sublist to another. Most I've heard of. Many I have not and assume to be proper names of some organization or person that has simply not crossed my field of vision before. I assume "Cain and abel", being under Cyber Security, is a different incarnation of the hack I know of as "Robin Hood and Friar Tuck", wherein the programs were written identicly and when one was run, it would check for the existence of the other and if it's not running, would launch it. The gag being that if you ever tried to kill the processes, you had to be able to simultaneously kill both at the same time, else the multitasking nature of the OS would allow the killed program to send a signal to the other, which would promptly relaunch it, making it effectively impossible, prior to multi-core CPUs, to get rid of them short of a reboot.
Many other words are not listed, which should be there, such as:

These are presented exactly as listed in the accompanying article, spelling errors, questionable capitalization and all, which makes me believe that this list was compiled by a moron. Surely this is some poor derivative from the actual rules based word recognizer that the government would actually use, but then, I'm on the verge of committing the fallacy of the hyper-competent government.Domestic Security
