    Very much doubt you will, you simply lack tons of other trigger signs, you donīt meet racial/ideological/religious triggers, your location/activities/commonly accesed pages , etc. do not add up, by far.
    Nor do mine.

    Now IF you were a peaceful Pakistani student, obviously Moslem, and studying some advanced Physics (possibly Nuke related) or Biology (possibly Bioweapons related) major at some US university , I bet you would be monitored even when ordering Dominoīs Pizza online, just in case you are using it as a hidden dropbox and "double pepperoni and cheese, thick crust" actually means "bingo!!!, I just got the blueprints for the X264 bomb or F321 virus" and "just the plain one, no extra toppings" actually means "I couldnīt hack the Server where the data is but Iīll keep trying".

      I ran across this easy steps to safe web browsing.

      One thing mentioned was firewalls.
      I have a firewall enabled, but not sure what it is accomplishing.
      I'm going to read more about firewalls for the home personal computer.

        Not only the Net, but your **PRINTER** is spying on you .
        Ok, not strictly "spied" by it, but it helps your being successfully prosecuted if itīs ever needed.
        And not "terrorism" related either, but helping you go to jail, for a longer time, if you just print something suspicious of any kind.

        So next time you want to bootleg out of a restaurant the secret Nacho dip sauce recipe, better learn it by heart or get ready to swallow the page you just printed it on, so it canīt be used against you in Court.

        And Iīm only half kidding here ; the hidden page code seems to be quite real.

          Well I just hit the jackpot, yesterday's mail brought me a letter from Federal authorities, and a demand for my personal appearance at a certain place, date & time. Oh boy, I've been selected for Federal Jury Duty. Stay out of trouble my friends, I'd hate to have to sit thru a trial & judgment. Went thru this all 2 years ago and they never did really call me in. Maybe I'll be lucky again, one can only hope.
          This isn't the future I signed up for.

            There are a lot of <$50 dot matrix printers on eBay that don't insert tracking dots.
            "Det var helt Texas" is written Nowegian meaning "that's totally Texas." When spoken, it means "that's crazy."

                    I can't find a photo of him on T-shirt from a parody of the Apple ad series about 18 years ago, it had a leering Charles Manson on it, swastika on forehead and all, and big capital letters "THINK DIFFERENT". Yeh, if I had that, it oughta work. Oh well I'll think up something else, or just go & see what happens. Heck I breezed thru a 2 month term in county grand jury 20 years ago, it was fun & informative, got to meet a bunch of assistant DA's. Better to be on their good side, it's nice to know who to call in case of trouble.

                              This thread should be moved to the septic tank, or maybe one of your favorite amp forums.
                              It now has nothing to do with computers, or web browsing.
                              Sorry I started it.
