Operation TIPS (Terrorisme Information and Prevention System), administered by the U.S. Department of Justice and developed in partnership with several other federal agencies, is one of the five component programs of the Citizen Corps. Operation TIPS will be a national system for reporting suspicious, and potentially terrorist-related activity. The program will involve the millions of American workers who, in the daily course of their work, are in a unique position to see potentially unusual or suspicious activity in public places.
The Department of Justice is discussing participation with several industry groups whose workers are ideally suited to help in the anti-terrorism effort because their routines allow them to recognize unusual events and have expressed a desire for a mechanism to report these events to authorities.
These workers will use their common sense and knowledge of their work environment to identify suspicious or unusual activity. This program offers a way for these workers to report what they see in public areas and along transportation routes.
All it will take to volunteer is a telephone or access to the Internet as tips can be reported on the toll-free hotline or online. Information received will be entered into the national database and referred electronically to a point of contact in each state as appropriate. This is not a national 911 center, and callers are expected to dial 911 for emergency local response.
Industries that are interested in participating in this program will be given printed guidance material, flyers and brochures, about the program and how to contact the Operation TIPS reporting center. This information can be distributed to workers or posted in common work areas. Operation TIPS is scheduled to be launched in late summer or early fall 2002. The goal of the program is to establish a reliable and comprehensive national system for reporting suspicious, and potentially terrorist-related, activity. By establishing one central reporting center, information from several different industries can be maintained in a single database. Operation TIPS will be phased in across the country to enable the system to build its capacity to receive an increasing volume of tips.

Hi, this is a very interesting information.
Could you tell us where it comes from (web site, or organisation) ?

Grossière exagération, la Staatsicherheit avait autrement plus d'"envergure", c'était l'espionnage de tous par chacun... Avec pour sommet dans la perversité l'affaire de la Prenzlauer Berg Szene, un mouvement artistique contestataire basé autour du quartier du même nom et dont les principals animateurs se sont révélés être des agents du régime chargés de noyauter la contestation. La RDA a contrôlé jusqu'à sa propre contestation, ce qui doit faire baver à Washington...
Alors franchement, si vraiment USA=Stasi, à votre place je me méfierais avant d'écrire dans Indymedia!

Il y a un moyen tout con de retrouver la source d'un texte sur Indy: on copie-colle une bonne portion du texte, genre les deux premières lignes, dans un moteur de recherche, et hop! Le tour est joué. Je suis un garçon bien élevé donc je vais laisser le monsieur présenter sa source lui-même. Intéressante, la source.

Comme on peut le voir, la source est une URL qui finit en .gov. C'est donc une source tout à fait fiable (dans ce cas-ci :)).
De plus, cela fait un moment qu'on en parle.
François, qu'as-tu trouvé comme source qui te semble si... intéressante? J'ai essayé avec google, et ton truc ne marche absolument pas :))
