writing down your gps coords every few hours and sending it to the nsa via snail mail?

But what if I want it automated? :)
Make an Android app that periodically makes HTTP requests whose body contains the word 'bomb' and the GPS coordinates of a particular street intersection near your phone. Bonus points for including Arabic lorem ipsum.
Interesting. If whole population of HN did that, would it put a dent into NSA processing power/capabilities?
If there are any dents in their processing power/capabilities, they'll quickly improve their capacity to accommodate it.
It should be noted that if you are not doing any of this, and you're opting out of all these tracking systems (just in case someone has that crazy idea), you're aiding the enemy.
It doesn't seem they're removing any features, just merging the product with G+, so it should remain pretty much the same.
