Alan Moore:
"If you are on a list targeted
by the CIA
you really have nothing to worry about.
If however,
you have a name similar
to somebody on a list targeted
by the CIA then you are dead."
If you use a search engine to try and put together a terrorist plot
you have nothing to worry about.
Particularly if Russia has already warned about you.
But if you
accidentally
search for similar things,
and are an honest citizen
they will get you.

I don't search for pressure cookers or backpacks however i am an avid Microsoft Flight Simmer as well as being not a very big fan of the government.
This means that most of my searches usually involve two things:
1) Anti government/establishment terms.
2) Approach/departure (Star/Sid) charts for airports.
I would have been sure that a combination such as that would be enough to make me a blip on their radar.

I just assume that any key pressed or link clicked on any computer does into a database. The more you use the computer the more they can put 2 and 2 together.

One hundred times a week, groups of six armed men drive to houses in three black SUVs, conducting consented-if-casual searches of the property perhaps in part because of things people looked up online.

Just wanted to post this to make sure everyone is aware. Be careful what you search for people. I don't know what to think anymore. Depression coupled with a fleeting sense of freedom. Maybe Huxley was right after all. Sweden is looking pretty nice this time of year. No?
So what do you think ATS?

Right. I bring something to your attention and I'm the bad guy. Noted.

Let's take a step down from our high horse and realize that, while you may be pitching and I may be playing outfield, we both bat for the same team.
