CATIC

CATIC, the California Anti-Terrorism Information Center, was established shortly after 2001-09-11. It issues bulletins to police about forthcoming events, including political marches and rallies. The implication: by participating in your government, you are a terrorist.

Fortunately, surveilling political gatherings is illegal in California, and AG Bill Lockyer is fighting back. The Chron reports: Lockyer backs ACLU on privacy; He agrees to ban surveillance of political activity

You can read more about CATIC here. The press release notes that CATIC has issued 224 terrorist threat advisories. As far as I remember — please correct me — exactly zero of those have turned out to be true. Hmmmmm.
