In the Wayback Machine archived version of triggerParams.js there is an OMB parameter of “1505-0186" if the client is section 508 compliant (US accessibility guidelines). A search of that OMB number turns up a Customer Satisfaction Measure of Government Websites survey from 2008/2009 (which makes sense if the archived js is from the FBI site). What isn’t clear is if the same version was used on all of the sites (some of the parameters are hard-coded) and how it got copied across to a mixture of hobbyist sites, plumbers, Most-Wanted pages etc. A quick peek at the page source of a random sampling of the sites in the Wayback Machine show very little similarity with each other (e.g. style of code, page layout etc.) which strongly suggests that it wasn’t people just ripping off the FBI page and wrangling it with a text editor. It is curious.
