These are all red flags and they are all innocuous and innocent in nature. Yet they will trigger analysis. That is what I'm concerned about.
Care to explain to us how you *know* what algorithms government agencies use when capturing, flagging and collating data that might be harmful to the United States of America? (Conspiracy websites and the like don't count as accredited and reputable sources)

Care to explain how "they" can analyze every bit of information that exists in my home? I didn't realize "they" came into my home and went through my written correspondence, notes and personal photographs. To say I am stunned at your revelation would be an understatement....

I long ago stopped being paranoid and have never been one for the conspiracy nuts. If I did I would have been scawred to death when I first read about Project Echelon decades ago....

So I guess with you posting that famous arab phrase you have now been flagged by "them" as a possible terrorist and will have every facet of you and your families life minutely examined, right?

To answer your question, no I don't give a crap.

We lost our privacy many decades ago and as per you "they" already have my secret family recipe for cream cheese cookies that I have locked up in my fireproof safe, where I have my .45 hidden, my son's stash of p0rn and what I've paid my bookie over the years
