Hey, maybe there's a new product category right there for Phorm-
Category:Family of overseas military personnel
Advertising potential: sell to Al Quaida in order to target those families with adverts containing anti-British forces propoganda (a la "Lord Haw-Haw" Radio in WWII)
I wouldn't put it past Kent - after all, business is business...

Yes, and one would like to think that every single serving person is technologically aware enough to recognise they can be profiled easily, dates, reverse dns lookup, and that they wouldnt communicate details which can be assembled through the media of for example myspace or similar, besides emails. Whats the average age of serving personnel?, I would suggest they are mostly young and fit and new attractive avenues of communication taken up quite readily. If sectors of our government as the Earl of Northesk has stated are 'envious' of the phorm technology, and the ignorance of current technological/legal issues within the houses which has been highlighted with this campaign, then how much relevant good advice have our forces on the ground received from their seniors.
