#1 "home-grown threats such as Anonymous" Boy that guy gets around. I can see them going after the Tea party now. Oops! that's probably a hot button with this administration. Maybe that's why the old media behaves as it does. We will see. "what their intentions are" sounds like a visit or at least tag along. Muscle move on easy pickins.

#2 Unless they've changed or amended the laws, the 'Puzzle Place' is prohibited from domestic intel gathering. A little left over gift from the Vietnam era, that restrict the function to the FBI and other agencies. Though nothing prohibits DARPA from doing a tech eval for other agencies uses.

#3 would be useful to identify the flash mobs of "youts" who connect via FB or Twitter before they riot/steal/assault.

#4 I didn't think of that "flash mobs of "youts".
With so many "youts" unemployed and adults it would be a good tool. Well it should be available should the need arise.

#6 "Anonymous" is a "home-grown" threat?

And how did they conclude that, given that it's on the internet and they can't positively identify anybody involved?
