Florida Activates System For Citizens To Call Each Other Terrorists 501
An anonymous reader writes "Sheriffs in 13 Northeast Florida counties announced an online system Thursday for residents to report suspicious activity they think may be terrorism-related. The site provides examples of red flags to watch for, such as people with an unusual interest in building plans or who are purchasing materials useful in bomb making. Important places to watch include hobby stores and dive shops."

I have here in my hand a list of all the people I suspect of terrorism. It includes many of my business competitors and personal acquaintances I find annoying or otherwise repulsive. For example, you'll see on page 5 I've included Ms. Johnson from down the street who lets her dog shit in my yard and never cleans up after it. I've noticed her making furtive glances at my front window while the dog is dumping and I'm pretty sure she's making notes of when I'm not home so she can steal the propane tank from my Grillmaster and use it in her reign of terror.

I thought it was to burn the entire field to the ground, then sift the ashes over a magnet?

Then wouldn't dropping out of school be suspicious?
Not in Florida, unfortunately.

The edges of a "kettle" would be the absolute best place for a suicide bomber to strike. You'd get to kill a ton of tightly packed innocents & as a bonus, eradicate quite a few LEOs at the same time.
You don't happen to live near Jacksonville, do you? 'Cause I might need to report that.

What? Over? Did you say "over"?
Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...

Well, that should work out well for them; I mean, it's not like Florida is filled with geriatrics who find everyone under the age of 50 to be suspect, right?

Depending on the breed of dog, they might be terrier-ists.

Quabbin, though... I dunno, sounds suspiciously Muslim to me.
Al-Qabin? I hear they've been collecting supplies for weapons of mass achusetts.
