[AsahinaKimi]

The Air Force’s geek squad wants the technology to monitor government employees’ deviant online behavior. And they want you to build it.

Today, the Air Force issued a call for proposals from small businesses, with this objective: “Define, develop, and demonstrate innovative approaches for determining ‘good’ (approved) versus ‘bad’ (disallowed/subversive) activities, including insiders and/or malware.”

But taboo activity could span everything from leaking top secret information to spamming contacts with a chain letter to visiting any site that government officials deem dubious.

2. Are we to believe they don't already do this?

Jeebuz, the whole country's already been profiled by a half-dozen national security agencies. Talk about mission creep.

3. The Air Force has been totally corrupted by religous fruit-cakes!

It may have started with Curtis 'Strangelove' Lemay!

6. Who's to say that they aren't?

Hope you're not another government employee engaging in un-American thought patterns.

12. That is freaky!

I don't recall any discussion of the Air Force taking over cyberspace, do you?

That earth didn't resemble anything I know.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. Control of cyberspace was one of the objectives of PNAC and is mentioned in

Rebuliding America's Defenses. Obviously, it was implemented.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. BTW...did you click on the main page for the AF and see the intro? Batsh*t scary.

[Sanity Claws]

15. Yes

I was referring to that when I said it was freaky. Also the planet didn't resemble Earth.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. It looks like the opening to a video game about planet domination.
