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....

Whether or not you are being sarcastic, parodying in fun, or trying to give warning to what is possible, you'd be surprised at the number of totally radical people out there who would pick up on your ideas, remember them and even perfect them for use.
I know a lot of ways to innocently hurt mass numbers of people. I'm keeeping them to myself.
As far as converting to Islam, there is a freedom of religion in this country but don't expect it to be easy for you if all Islamic people become suspect as enemies of the government.
