Check Sticky Comment X 'Glitches', accidentally reveals Department of Homeland Security's Twitter Account was created in Tel-Aviv [1440x1668 - 110KB] (poal.co)

This had the unintentional effect of revealing the DHS's account was actually being run from Israel.

They have since removed the feature.]

[Edit 2: Here is an official technology sharing agreement between the DHS and Israel, two months before the creation of the official Twitter account: https://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/agreement_us_israel_sciencetech_cooperation_2008-05-29.pdf]
