I don't assign the entire government only one "trust level" -- for me, it depends on the agency and their history. Some agencies have done better, some worse.

"Hi, I"m the FBI agent who spends 60hrs/wk on WoW embedded in the RP guild.... no terrorists spotted yet and I'll have to miss the next briefing as there's a raid."
Moral: its not just a handful of protocols to spy on... every single F2P mmo.... irc channels... ad infinitum. Anyone want to try and automate text algorithms that speak "gam3rz"? Textual steganography and purely bad typing... not for amateurs.

Indeed, especially when you're using facebook. Just think go along with your casual day and everything will be dandy.
Indeed, pr0n will get hit like running into a brick wall. The FBI will be watching you watch it. |

Given the FBI's history of paranoid surveillance the most innocuous associations could land you there. Even if you aren't doing those things you could end up on a watch list (like all the "no-fly list" victims who are guilty by having a name). So flying's "just another ordinary day" is ... sort of true but not in a nice way. Take it from someone that SH likes to call an "MiB"?

Its quite interesting -- its almost like everyone got the same memo... even the Attorney General race in my state - both candidates are exclusively focusing on "protecting our children from Internet predators, blah blah blah". Meanwhile, many priorities with a much higher statistical chance go unaddressed by their campaign rhetoric.

^ The FBI draws out the hidden part of your soul. Then bust you for it, no hope of recovery for you good sir.

"Think of the children" against online predators will indeed attract supporters. That much is a given fact, it's even influenced multiple schools to address this in meetings. My school even said in an indirect attempt "Let us censor your internet to better help you. Call this number, so you too will not run into this problem." Which is what I feel the government is doing right now after flying ^'s UK post. |

and I think in this country "do your job as a parent" sentiment in supervising & ctrl-ing kids is still dominant and will never cede at least a small part to gubmint. |

Heh, just because I give the GOP a rough time this decade doesn't mean I'm much friendlier to the Dems because both parties have their "unfriendly" sides but over the decades which one is the bigger threat varies.

Think of the children, indeed.
How about funding schools properly? How about not allowing deranged religious parents to yank their kids out of biology class? How about establishing strict guidelines for homeschooling? How about closing the gap between other countries who consistently and constantly kick our asses into the ground in terms of math and science education? How about making the religious indoctrination of children illegal? Nobody appears to be actually thinking of the children here. They just appear to be using the children.
