Nah, law abiding citizens have nothing to fear from an ever intrusive government watching our every move. Just like these folks. --- Michele Catalano was looking for information online about pressure cookers. Her husband, in the same time frame, was Googling backpacks. Wednesday morning, six men from a joint terrorism task force showed up at their house to see if they were terrorists. Which prompts the question: How'd the government know what they were Googling? Catalano (who is a professional writer) describes the tension of that visit. [T]hey were peppering my husband with questions. Where is he from? Where are his parents from? They asked about me, where was I, where do I work, where do my parents live. Do you have any bombs, they asked. Do you own a pressure cooker? My husband said no, but we have a rice cooker. Can you make a bomb with that? My husband said no, my wife uses it to make quinoa. What the hell is quinoa, they asked. ... Have you ever looked up how to make a pressure cooker bomb? My husband, ever the oppositional kind, asked them if they themselves werenât curious as to how a pressure cooker bomb works, if they ever looked it up. Two of them admitted they did. The men identified themselves as members of the "joint terrorism task force." The composition of such task forces depend on the region of the country, but, as we outlined after the Boston bombings, include a variety of federal agencies. Among them: the FBI and Homeland Security. (Update, 12:50 p.m.: The Guardian confirmed with the FBI that the agency was aware of the visit, but that it was conducted by local police on Long Island. Local police forces participate in joint terrorism task forces, as in the Boston example above and as described by the Department of Homeland Security here. The FBI describes its Joint Terrorism Task Force on Long Island as covering those two counties.) More: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/nati...-google-searches/67864/#.UfqCSAXy7zQ.facebook
That's fucked up. Things will continue to get worse. America is very close to all-out tyranny. The mouse trap is built. The laws are in place. Only two things stand between us and another Hitler - the Constitution and our guns. The SC and Congress are working overtime to get rid of both. Dark days are ahead. 10,000%.
Looks like the only thing that could possibly bring America back will be a revolution. I shake thinking about it as we'll ALL suffer, but it's looking very necessary.

Probably. I wouldn't want to be in America when it goes down. That place will get turned upside down...
this is fucking ridiculous. it is funny though just how stupid they are. They have their algo's looking for searches on 'pressure cookers' cause 2 fucking brothers used them. I wonder if they also search for 'flight training'. If you fuckheads at the NSA are reading this, the jihadis aren't going to keep reusing the same ideas, and you should be looking for MUSLIMS not white people. We aren't in a war with terrorists, we're at war with MUSLIMS. get a clue.

Good. This guy is a straight up criminal. Guilty of millions of felonies a second (unwarranted wiretap).
