What not to have people watching how you use their stuff? It was the IT department checking out a turned in laptop that got nervous when there were bomb making searches. Big shock they mentioned it to the cops. It makes no sense to believe that would be a constitutional violation. If fact that anyone even tried to make such an argument is amazing. I'm not feeding into the absurdity I'm done with this crap.

It seems like every thread I read lately degenerates into stuff like this. Makes it not even worth posting. But hey, thanks, I was spending too much time on this forum anyway.

Re: Google "Pressure Cooker" & "Backpack" - Get Visit from

The fact that this was brought to the police's attention by her employer and not the NSA doesn't really make this any better IMO. The police still showed up and searched her house because she googled something. That is not remotely OK. I am a microbiologist and I use the internet to search for info on things that could be used for bioterrorism all the time. Should I have to worry about a visit from the police? And even if I didn't have a reason and was just curious, when did reading about something become cause for a search?
