I heard this suggestion somewhere on-line and was wondering what any techies out there would think.

His idea was: What if everyone in the country, or those that believe the NSA is out of control, were to have a send a naughty word day? Or a naughty word week?

Don`t these systems still use keyword identification software? So in theory, they only need to include certain keywords into their communications for that day.

As that blogger mused, "I wonder how the system would cope with millions or billions of e-messages in one day or week that all raised flags?"

Hmm—do you trust everyone else to do the same on the same day you do it?

Fact is that, if millions knew of the “word of the day or week”, that the government would also know about it, and disregard it as just an inconvenience.

If what the NSA says is true, it’s the pattern of communications that they’re after, and not some gimmick by someone to send them off track. A one day intrusion into the system is not a pattern for a one suspect or a suspicious group.
