Note, this is NOT my list, but it is/was a real list

• • Try to keep people from watching you put your password in your email or banking site

  • attempts to shield the screen from view of others

  • Prefer cash or use the card of a spouse, parent or with your maiden name

  • Always pay cash or use credit card(s) in different name(s)

  • Think somebody might turn you in as a terrorist for your normal behavior

  • Act nervous

  • Your employer gives you a cell phone for work, but you keep your own for personal use

  • Are observed switching SIM cards in cell phone or use of multiple cell phones

  • You aren't from around here, or you need to check your email while traveling

  • Travel illogical distance to use Internet Café

  • Connect to the company VPN to work

  • Use of anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address

  • Keep your passwords or work link lists in a handy notebook

  •  Suspicious or coded writings, use of code word sheets, cryptic ledgers, etc

  • Encrypt patient records, your diary or your email

  • Encryption or use of software to hide encrypted data in digital photos, etc

  • Took one of the Vonage offers, use Skype or play video games where you can talk with other players

  •  Suspicious communications using VOIP or communicating through a PC game

This list of terrorist behaviors comes from an office that is a part of an office that is a part of the US Department of Justice. Apparently. They do say at the bottom, in tiny letters:

Each indictor listed above, is by itself, lawful conduct or behavior and may also constitute the exercise of rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution

This came to my attention through a slashdot article pointing to this copy of the (PDF) document.
