Reply #17: That Sure Didn't Catch The UniFreeper [View All]

Seems like it was the targets of those letters that got the FBI's attention despite plenty of public postings that could easily have been read by Officer Fred or anyone else and viewed as a threat. Imagine what he was sending via email or instant messages. The NSA software sure didn't scan well for the red flags there.

We had a discussion when the NSA wiretapping scandal broke about how this intrusion in our lives really means. Yes, if the government wants to go after you, this is just another arrow in their quiver...combined with tax info, police records, business records and other things. Your Social Security number is a greater threat than your phone number.

Cheers...
