America's homeland security network now extends all the way to your smartphone. The makers of a new state-of-the-art iPhone app claim that it lets concerned citizens report suspicious activity — from terrorist-like behavior to potential environmental abuse — directly to the federal government at the push of a button.
The "Patriot App" also lets users inspect the FBI's "Most Wanted" list, view the national threat advisory warning, and highlight their concerns via their Facebook and Twitter pages. The app's designers — described as former Department of Homeland Security "insiders" — say it was "founded on the belief that citizens can provide the most sophisticated and broad network of eyes and ears necessary to prevent terrorism."
