How'd the government know what they were Googling?

If that was a serious question from someone, the answer is easy - Google tells them.

Atlantic it is probably true, but I do not give credence to anything from Atlantic.

I dunno, but I would hope that all those FBI agents would say muchas gracias for their windfall of massive overtime.

The FBI’s too busy to look into the IRS targeting conservative groups... they must have overtime up the waazoo... They’re busy looking for that elusive middle class, church going, conservative father of 3 who they’re sure is a lone wolf...

Guess we know why they didn’t have time to check out the Boston bombers or the Foot Hood nut. They want a white American - middle aged, middle class guy.

it said they do about 100 visits a week. so around March of 2205 delete your web history because they'll be knocking.

Answer the door and say, oh, that a while back, i just deleted my browser history...sorry.

come back and ping me, we'll laugh together.

so this is how the government spends its time?

Sending SIX officers to the home of someone who googled backpacks and pressure cookers?

not one, not even two (ok for safety) but SIX? On the First visit?

Did they have no info at all on these people and their background that would have told them they are just a family?

Is their brother over in Saudi Arabia on the terrorist watch list?

Please tell me there is more to this than SIX officers sitting around monitoring for terorist to google pressure cookers...

Not a likely story. If they showed up at my door I’d tell them to get off my property.

That's not nearly as bad as posting on FR. I wonder when our visits will begin?

“If they showed up at my door I’d tell them to get off my property.”

Bad idea. 6 professional trained cops vs. 1 amateur gun enthusiast. That would make a lot of awful holes in your body.

And I thought they were only keeping the Meta Data, not the actual material or information. You mean the government lied to us again ?
