And because the revolution and its protesters in Tahrir square harmed tourism , the Egyptian authorities launched a campaign to warn citizens from speaking with foreigners for fear they will be spies.

Do not speak to any foreigner for fear he will be a spy !!!! I love how they showed the activists wearing Palestinian scarfs in reference to the socialists who always wear it. Of course the example this used in this ad is similar to the case of Illan Grapel
This ad was aired in Egyptian National TV channels as well Egyptian private channels like CBC.

We do not know who behind that advertising campaign , you do not have to guess it is the intelligence. Well I am extremely worried on the GIS because I believe they still live in the 1960s where as we are in 2012 , you do not need all this to collect information for God sake !! Already these ads show the Egyptian people bunch of fools !!
There is no doubt that knowing how Shafik supporters suffer from Xenophobia and Chauvinism , they like these ads so much. Even those of them to pretend to be more open and so-called liberals put the blame on the revolutionaries for those ads because they speak too much to the foreign press !!
The big irony is that the Tourism chambers in Egypt are mobilizing with what they got from power to elect Ahmed Shafik !!
I do not recall that after the six day defeats or even after the Suez war the Nasser regime launched similar campaign in the media.
I fear that this ad is an introduction for a campaign against human rights activists and journalists from abroad so they will not cover the upcoming crackdown against the Muslim brotherhood as well revolutionary powers and groups if Shafik is elected as a president.
Well everything comes with a price , the media convinced the public in Egypt that the Muslim brotherhood will destroy the tourism industry because of their conservatism and now we will see how the tourism will flourish with xenophobic TV campaigns and Upcoming security crackdowns against activists and political opponents !!
Throughout the day there was speculations among journalists on who exactly stands against that advertising campaign. According to Egyptian TV employees , the campaign is aired by orders of above the above
Anyhow @Military_Secret twitter account spoke about the campaign which simply is run by the intelligence
Really : Do not Speak to foreigners !!
This ad was aired in Egyptian National TV channels as well Egyptian private channels like CBC.
Updated :
There is another ad aired on TV warning Egyptians from chatting online to unknown parties !!
Really : Spies companies recruit Egyptians through chat !!
