NSA is already believed to be archiving virtually all e-mail traffic in the USA, and one should reasonably expect that all political websites get continuous monitoring as well.
It might be a tedious job to search the 4 degrees of connections that link your communications with another person but it is technically quite straight forward to do such a thing for an organization with a good search engine and lots of disk storage farms.
The only other thing needed is a bunch of junior level staffers to pore over the search results until they find what was requested.
Of course, the trace request for you might be number 17,534 in the list and the staff may not get around to it for a while.
Plan accordingly.

Your post is the situation exactly. I KNOW that Freep gets scouted by the government. This is a fact. There are users setup here to listen to the chatter, just as there is on DU.
That’s something that people do in wartime. We are at war. There are no shots fired, but there is still a fair share of military actions taking place on US Soil that the line is being blurred.
I only rest knowing that the mods here at FR are on our side, and won’t be sending any emails that read “THERE HE IS ! UNDER THE TREE READING A BOOK ! GET HIM!”. Are there others on here that would do that ? Sure.
The key here is that the system of “Most wanted” is already tapped out. There are literally so many 100s of 1000s of people on this list, that we’re far at the bottom. In fact, I know that a few letter agencies have a “top 1000” list of people they are looking for - that will never be found.
The system of our opposition is already taxed. Like Gun registration - If you believe that the ATF gets rid of files, you’re not very smart. The ATF DOES keep records that live on forever. They have reports and data that is constantly referred to. The only problem is that data is such garbage that no executive decision can be made based on it. It’s level of confidence is like 10%. The idea of a new gun registration program is to increase the confidence of their data to try and save some of the data they already have.
And that’s why it’s important to crash their every effort. They are now trying to enhance their ATF data with medical record (EMS) of people who own guns, so they can cross-reference the data and gauge their error rates. Destroy that system now while you can.
I say we all buy ammo, personally, and just sell it between us so we avoid having to present ID at the counter for future purchases.. Just as a precaution. I am only to buy ammo in small amounts, but welcome the private sale of anything I can to keep not just the patriot off the radar, but to make this data so completely incorrect that using it will be an exercise in futility.
I would REALLY like to afford to stop in to NYS gun stores to buy ammo now. Even with ID. So at least I mess up the records and charts so badly that no one can do anything with them.
And also that those going to this rally in Albany “plan accordingly.”
