I wonder if they will be able to tell when someone is being sarcastic, or parodying something in fun?

What if I am writing a short story or novel about either terrorists or those engaged in criminal activity? Will they try to say that I am "formulating a plot"?

What if I wanted to convert to Islam?

What if I wrote a letter to the Dallas Morning News trying to point out how the city could be vulnerable to "traffic attack" from a small group--only 10--of people driving "18-wheeler" trucks?

*sigh* Too many questions. I was too young to really remember the "good old days" of Nixon and Hoover.

Interestingly enough, though, if you check out USSearch.com, they talk about "checking out your neighbors" through their service....

Let the paranoia run rampant again! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]
