don’t pay off your credit cards: you might be a terrorist

unlike eastern europe during the cold war, you don’t even have to have [or not have] papers to be suspicious. in modern america, just paying off your credit cards can flag you as a potential terrorist…

Pay too much and you could raise the alarm [ scrips-howard news service, 2006.02.28]

if the increase hits a certain percentage higher than that normal payment, Homeland Security has to be notified.

apparently, the department of homeland security (the same people that can’t figure out that hurricanes are dangerous?) has determined that the payment habits of every american is subject to review.

no arrests (that we know of…) but every american with a financial record is subject, so this gets threat level orange:

update this incident brought to you by sections 351 and 352 of the usa patriot act.
