Counterintelligence app lets troops in Europe flag suspicious acts

Any smartphone can serve as a direct link to Army counterintelligence operations in Europe, thanks to an application launched on Dec. 18.
The iReport app, available for iOS and Android products, lets users report suspicious activities either to counterintelligence personnel or to local law enforcement. Unsure where your tip should go? The app points users in the right direction — flag the intel team for “someone expressing hatred of American society, culture or government,” for instance, or send a message to the police for “someone taking unauthorized photography of buildings or gate entrances.”
