What I really seriously wonder about is if these authorities have nothing better to do than to follow up on ridiculous leads like these. Apparently you are no longer allowed to write works of fiction either.<p>The next attack that will succeed will do so in part because apparently the people that are in charge of sifting the stream of intelligence for actionable clues are completely without ability to analyze this kind of information in a way that would lead to a safer society.<p>All that happens is they waste tons of money and man-hours chasing nonsense.<p>A remark was made on a social networking site, boohoo. Disaster. Meanwhile the bad guys are having a field day and are going to slip through the cracks left by the thoughtcrime police being occupied elsewhere.
