I think that’s a good observation. Folks should be careful on posts like these. It’s likely that these threads sometimes can be probe or investigation opportunities for a variety of intelligence agencies — not all in the US — including sometimes very excited baiters or may be part of the whole thing, too…
Best to be cautious…
Meh. If I get investigated, all they will find out is that I play too many computer games (especially the Ultimate General series!), that I work too hard, and that I go to sleep too early every night.
Oh, and that I post on Free Republic too much. LOL
The same is done with cellular phones. On those, the monitoring includes voice. Voice is converted to text and the catch phrases are used to trigger recording or agent notification.
Everyone in the US us 100% monitored through their electronic communications. If you want actual privacy, go someplace isolated where there is a constant source of white noise and then talk very quietly. Do not expose your lips to observation. We ARE actually at that point in this Nation.
