Here's the latest from Berlin on the Potomac:
While Apple and the federal government duke it out over the encrypted phone of a dead terrorist, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is keeping things old school by advocating that educators start paying close attention to any radical leanings among their students.
In January, the FBI’s Office of Partner Engagement – a liaison between the FBI, other feds, and local and school law enforcement – released an unclassified paper detailing a plan to keep an eye on any latent anti-American activity in high school youths.
As Alternet and a few other outlets have noted, the paper and the matching Countering Violent Extremism website – including a typical to government clueless one for teens, which involves inane “learning” games – carefully makes sure not to appear to be targeting merely Muslim young people, thereby avoiding accusations of racial, religious, or ethnic profiling. The overall picture then ends up being coy, yet terrifyingly broad in terms of what might be a sign of dangerous youth activity or thought.

I guess this makes some sense, considering all the school shootings, etc.
But do we really want to turn our country into East Germany? In fact, we seem to be getting even more invasive than the STASI was.
Maybe that's what Obama ad-Dajjal meant by "the most transparent administration in history" - that WE would become transparent to HIM and his minions.
