US planning to recruit one in 24 Americans as citizen spies

"Operation TIPS - the Terrorism Information and Prevention System - will be a nationwide program giving millions of American truckers, letter carriers, train conductors, ship captains, utility employees, and others a formal way to report suspicious terrorist activity."
The main difference between the TIPS informants and the Stasi is that the Stasi never got bumper stickers.
