The Atlantic Wire: Michele Catalano was looking for information online about pressure cookers. Her husband, in the same time frame, was Googling backpacks. Wednesday morning, six men from a joint terrorism task force showed up at their house to see if they were terrorists. Which prompts the question: How'd the government know what they were Googling?
Zhazam! Yes, Google does send everything you enter into their search engines to the feds.

After the Boston bombing I Goggled how to make a pressure cooker bomb and figure I made some sort of list. Next time I try to fly might be interesting.:lol:

I don't fly in the US cause to be blunt I don't like being practically strip searched. I go by car instead. The only time I fly anymore is when I go out of country.
I prefer Startpage.com myself. It uses the Google engine behind a mask.
They all do. You are hiding from google--basically using a proxy--but not really the men in black. If they cannot already, they will just track you to the site and their search and then your clicking on whatever link and you are back in direct monitoring. If you have a static IP address yo are pretty screwed and even if you don't, with service providers rolling over, they can still link it to you if you visit any of the sites with log-ins like DP, Amazon, etc and then build the file through the backdoor.
That said, the gubbermint is going to be more worried about you if you are calling your cousin the drug dealing terrorist than they are if you are buying a John Holmes vibrator and industrial lubricants and copies of Midgets Gone Wild videos. The computers put it together, but there is still going to be a threshold of garbage before it hits human eyes unless you are already being targeted.

So. All you guilty people!! Switch search engines!!
I think ya'll are making a big deal about nothing. My business was checked out by the FBI; I never thought a thing about it.
I owned a printing/office services company and often ordered 100% rag paper on which to print customer stationery. Apparently, at that time, when printers ordered above a certain quantity of 100% rag paper, the Feds were notified to make sure it wasn't part of a counterfeiting operation.
That required clandestine reporting. Big deal.
Pay for a car in cash and you'll get behind the scenes scrutiny; deposit more than (I think it's) $9,000 in cash into a bank? Same thing. That stuff's been going on for years.
