Rat them out on TV

The backlash against the government's proposed TIPS program (recruiting citizen informants to alert the authorities to suspicious behavior) includes Operation TIPS-TIPS with this chalkmark (inspired by WIFI warchalking) to rat out the informants themselves. Also, it appears that (no joke) a call to the TIPS program actually gets routed to the Fox TV program, America's Most Wanted.

Thanks to Boing Boing and its guestblogger Xeni.
