the USA, pres Obama, uses computer scans to analyze millions,(Billion??) of intercepted civilian messages to find key words that are indicate a suspicious terrorist or an anti-American message. The language problems must be enormous for the computer programmers. Few (trusted) Americans know say Hebrew or Arabic, or Hungarian, well enough to give a programmer a list of suspicious OR slang words ! Even "ordinary" people are smart enough to use "shirts" to mean "bombs" in e-mails to their accomplices! NSA + 9 other US "intelligence" agencies are the super-computer guys that miss-filed, and ignored early warnings about 9-11 . Isn't it far more L-O-G-I-C-A-L that these amateur 'detectives" expect to catch big fish by casting bait into a gold-fish bowl ? moshe
