Well if "they're" watching" let's give 'em something to watch. Remember Jam
Echelon day? http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ecd/jam.html

It seems like the great unwashed is suddenly getting their panties in a wad
over stuff that we've been telling them has been going on for a very, very
long time. ...

I'm not sure if the attempt at jamming Echelon ever actually worked, but
I'm more than happy to add a list of trigger words to my e-mail signature
... except, the link to the list of trigger words seems to have been
removed ... hmmmm ....

Maybe it's time to resurrect it.
