        A friend already saw that, and told me today that she honestly has been

        Googling backpacks for Christmas presents for her daughter, and pressure cookers,

        because she wants a new one that uses weights instead of the gauge.

        Whatever that is....

          I guess false alarm it wasn't for googling at home, but their work turned them in.

            Never though I would see this country become what it has.

              ah, good job. But the feds are telling internet providers to give over info....

              The prospects of abuse are becoming acted out incidences of abuse of information.

              IRS. Next, who knows?

              It keeps reminding me of the WWII movies, where the nazis asked questions of

              everybody and anybody. The ability of our gov to have citizens inform on other citizens....

              also reminds of those movies. It just sets a bad precedent for a free country.

                Yeah, I am not really going to connect the dots to WW2/nazis like that. Specially since this was a company that a former employee was googling somethings that could be used to make a bomb, and could have been disgruntled that he was a former employee. A company will always try to side with caution and bring it up to the authorities, just incase this guy was planing to return to work with a backpack bomb.

                  Where does it end, though?

                  Look up "carbon tax"...

                  carbon black is used to make gunpowder. It actually is no huge deal,

                  if the op for abuse and unwarranted knee jerking doesn't exist.

                  But it does.
