[liberationtech] NSA flag terms

This is an (admittedly huge) list of words that supposedly cause the
NSA to flag you as a potential terrorist if you over-use them in an
email.

We found this on Reddit, where James Bamford, a veteran reporter with
30 years experience covering the NSA, is answering questions from the
community. This list comes from Reddit user GloriousDawn, who found it
on Attrition.org, a site that very closely follows the security
industry.

You may want to peruse this entire list yourself, but here are some of
our favourites that stick out:

·         dictionary

·         sweeping

·         ionosphere

·         military intelligence

·         Steve Case

·         Scully

And the full list for your browsing pleasure:
