FBI Tripwire Program, Internet Cafe Surveillance
The Bureau of Justice Assistance and the FBI have issued guidelines for internet cafe owners to report "suspicious activity" under the code word "Tripwire." Suspicious behaviors include paying with cash, shielding screens, switching SIM cards, or traveling "illogical distances" to use a computer. This is viewed as an expansion of the domestic surveillance state.
