operation TIPS: america's most wanted August 6th, 2002, 10:12 p.m. Okay, I'm sure you guys have already heard enough about John Ashcroft's brainchild, Operation TIPS (Terrorist Information and Prevention System).

The informant hotline number that is given to everyone who signed up as a spy is not linked to the department of justice or the FBI. No, no. Joe Schmoe, who's concerned about his dark-skinned neighbor buying a little too much fertilizer one day, calls directly to America's Most Wanted.
