FBI “Almanac” Bulletin

I found a copy of the FBI Bulletin warning of suspicious almanac readers. It’s from Cryptome, one of my favorite websites.

Check out this section:
Investigation has revealed that terrorist operatives may rely on almanacs to assist with target selection and pre-operational planning. Almanacs, available both in print and online, provide comprehensive information on a variety of topics, including government, geography, vital statistics, the economy, health matters, science and technology, weather trends, and tourism. Information commonly found in almanacs that may be exploited for terrorist use includes profiles of U.S. cities and states and information on geographic and structural features such as waterways, bridges, dams, reservoirs, tunnels, buildings, and landmarks. This information is often accompanied by photographs and maps.

Now, substitute “internet” for “almanac.” See where this might be going?
