“The FBI determined that the overwhelming majority of the threat information documented in Guardian had no nexus to terrorism. However, as a result of information reported in Guardian the FBI initiated over 600 criminal and terrorism-related investigations from October 2006 to December 2007,” the inspector general’s report said.
The report did not discuss the result of the investigations.
FBI policy requires that each threat or suspicious incident reported by the public or other government agencies and law enforcement officers be reviewed to determine whether there is a link to terrorism.

The report expressed concern over delays in the development of a related system, called E-Guardian, for sharing terrorism-related information with local law enforcement. It said the automated Guardian system had improved since it was first implemented, and the number of incidents tracked had grown dramatically.
FBI spokesman John Miller said the agency had implemented steps to resolve concerns and it accepted recommendations made by the inspector general.

just wait until this tattle tale society comes into its full capacity of snitches, the FBI will be too overwhelmed to check out all suspicious calls; which would leave USA more vulnerable to attacks. they should set guidlines for terroristic reporting and penalties for bogus calls.

it ends up being work (some of it probably on overtime rates) for many law-enforcement workers. Expect it to continue unabated

I think i was one of those people checked out. I sent an abusive email to an address which claimed to be bush’s and about 15 min later i got a call from an American automated voice which is strange seeing as i live in Australia. Then a month or so later as i walked through my living room something caught my eye outside my window and there was a small taser like zap on my fly screen and the next day i found a small hole in the same place.
