can it be used to report sexual assaults at the airport in the security lines?
Who needs echelon when one has app.
On the evening of 7 April 1775, Samuel Johnson, ardent Tory, made the famous statement, “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.”
I wish I knew how to post the picture of the app. It’s scary!

Father-in-law charged for Al-Qaeda slur
Published: 2 Nov 07 12:13 CET
A man in southern Sweden has been charged with slander after informing American authorities that his son-in-law had links with Al-Qaeda.
The unsuspecting Lund man was given a terrorist’s welcome when he landed at Orlando International Airport in August last year. A computer technician by trade, he had traveled to the US to participate in a conference.
But no sooner had he arrived at the US airport than he was hauled aside by armed security guards and taken in for questioning where he was grilled about his religious and political beliefs. When the interrogation was over he was thrown into a cell that he claimed was smeared with blood and excrement.
Some eleven hours after the start of his ordeal, the hapless traveler was put on a plane back to Sweden.
When setting out for Orlando, he had clearly not reckoned with the machinations of his scheming father-in-law.
Are you able to post a close-up a close up of the app?
Coming to a WalMart near you.
Oh geez... It’s 1984 all over again.
I’ve had the FBI phone number programmed into my cell phone since 9/11.
Thank you!
Don’t you just love that all-seeing “Suspicious Activity” eye?
Creepy.
over load the app. simple.
They need to be flooded with reports of suspected illegal immigrants.
Oh geez... It’s 1984 all over again.
I just checked the AppStore; comments there pretty much mirror those here.
I would give it a one star rating, but you have to own it (it’s free) to rate it, and I don’t even want it on my system.
Fine, but in my opinion this goes a bit too far beyond that.
Ping!
