Title: You might be a terrorist
Post by: TehBorken on Feb 14 12 09:59
This country is so f*cked up. :(

Earlier this month a flier was released by the FBI saying that people who pay in cash for coffee might be terrorists. No, I'm not kidding. I *WISH* I was kidding. Here's a snippet of text from the flier:
Quote"Using cash for small purchases like a cup of coffee, gum and other items is a good indication that a person is trying to pass for normal without leaving the kind of paper trail created using a debit or credit card for small purchases."

A "good indication"?? Seriously, that's what they consider a "good indication"? Could it just be that I don't want to put $1.29 charge on my credit card for gum or a candy bar?

The most recent update asks coffee shop owners, baristas and other customer-service spetgwpdts to be on the lookout for the enemy who walks among us, TEH TERRORISTS, OMG WTF BBQ!!!

If I'm not mistaken, people who use the word "incredible" are also possible terrorists. Especially if they use an exclamation point. We gotta keep an eye on you, Gophie.
