Well when the men in black come to my house I'm going to ask for ID and make a copy of it.
Then when I tell my story to the press you'll all know which agency came a-knocking.
Because all these alphabet agencies are doing nothing but pointing at each other and denying they did it.
Where have we heard that before ?
Because I got curious as well as to how the heck you turn a pressure cooker into a bomb as well.
We've heard it all too often in the past 10 months.
Nothing to do with 'googling'. The visit was from Nassau County Police Department not from the FBI. Something made authorities suspicious but no evidence it was from monitoring their online searches.
"But after reading the questions Catalano says investigators asked her husband, it’s clear that they could come from information that is not Catalano’s search history — say, an anonymous tip from a jumpy neighbor. (Maybe someone who noted this Facebook picture on her Facebook page.) " https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater

"I knew Michele a long time ago when she blogged regularly about politics on A Small Victory (asmallvictory.net). Back then she was very sensationalistic, and would go out of her way to artificially inflate or dramatize stories. I'm not surprised she drew the conclusion that the visit was due to Google searches; I also wouldn't be surprised if she intentionally inflated the story, she has always had a talent for getting attention.
Also worth noting. She was a pretty loud blogger post 9/11 and during the Iraq invasion. She ran a very popular Iraq invasion blog, lauded for updating about the invasion faster than the mainstream media. It would not surprise me in the least if the Feds have her on some list or another (not saying that's ok mind you). The Washington Post article about this talks about whether she'd be on a watch list, and Michele talks about searching for how to cook lentils and ending up on a watch list ("This is where we are at," Catalono wrote. "Where you have no expectation of privacy. Where trying to learn how to cook some lentils could possibly land you on a watch list."). That part is Michele knowing exactly how to craft a sound bite for media consumption. I suspect this story is demonstrating a real abuse by the terrorism obsessed police / feds, and the rest is Michele throwing fuel on the fire for the headlines."
You make yourself suspicious then gripe about being suspected and investigated for what you do. Some will do anything for 15 minutes of fame as always and some like to take one side that fits their beliefs as always. Its spin;spin;spin. Good post.
Aha, it was the husband's employer who turned him in. They monitor workplace computers and noticed his searches for pressure cooker bombs and backpacks.
"Suffolk County Criminal Intelligence Detectives received a tip from a Bay Shore based computer company regarding suspicious computer searches conducted by a recently released employee. The former employee’s computer searches took place on this employee’s workplace computer. On that computer, the employee searched the terms “pressure cooker bombs” and “backpacks.”
After interviewing the company representatives, Suffolk County Police Detectives visited the subject’s home to ask about the suspicious internet searches. The incident was investigated by Suffolk County Police Department’s Criminal Intelligence Detectives and was determined to be non-criminal in nature.
Oh Lord..I'm on the "fertilizer list" and I did google how they turned a pressure cooker into a bomb after the story came out.
That was my thought:
Steps:
1) Google "100 bags of fertilizer".
2) Buy 100 bags of fertilizer. Transport in U-Haul truck.
3) Blame Google when the cops show up.
