“They never asked to see the computers on which the searches were done.”

because they had already searched those from the main office.

Never ever let the police conduct a search without a warrant

This guy let 6 strangers into his house and answered all those personal questions, without even the mention of warrant? I’d slap my husband upside the head for doing such a thing!

“May we search your house?” Not unless you have a warrant and I’m in cuffs.

Use a search engine that doesn't spy on you.

It has never been suffieciently expplained, as far as I know, how - with all of this out of control surveillance - they did not catch the Boston Marathon bombers.

I guess we didn’t fit the exact profile they were looking for so they were just going through the motions.

I'm still wondering what prompted an explosives test on a set of C.S. Lewis paperbacks I was carrying through an airport checkpoint in June.

Either this article is BS or we have officially crossed a line. A Big Red One.

If the story is true, it means they are actively trying to connect the dots of discussions, internet surfing, etc. Of every man woman and child in this nation. That doesn’t just give me pause. It is several orders of magnitude worse, especially if THAT ONE GROUP shows up at a hundred homes a week. That is proactive surveilence of all citizens, without a warrant.

As I said, Either this article is BS or we have officially crossed a line. A Big Red One. And we have moved out of what Claire Wolfe called “that awkward stage”.

Too bad that doesn’t stop the NSA from spying on you.

What a bunch of keystone cops. They've thrown out the 4th amendment, spy on good Americans - and then miss the Boston Bomber who the Russians were begging us to watch out for.

And I'm supposed to feel safer with these clowns protecting me? Gosh, it's just not happening.

I think the story is bogus. I’m treating it as if she is discussing off planet aliens landing in their front yard and doing a quick inspection - lunacy.

I have to see it that way. The implications of it being true are just to huge.

You think not having a warrant will stop them? Wow.

They get all the packets from your house at the local switch. That they have backdoor access to the search engines is lagniappe and only makes things faster and easier for them.

They have all your searches too. From any engine you choose. It just takes them a millisecond longer to put them together.

...asked if they could come in...

"No."

...They asked if they could search the house...

"Do you have a search warrant?"

...they were peppering my husband with questions. Where is he from? Where are his parents from? ...

"Am I under arrest? I will not answer any questions outside the presence of my attorney."
