Snoops, Hackers, Governments, etc.

One stop shopping for your profile, habits, and data. What will these people think of next? Think I'm being paranoid? I don't think I'm being paranoid enough. With the political, legal, and law enforcement enrichment of the post 9/11 world where our civil rights have been eroded almost into non-existence what will happen to a person who visits a web-site with a link to another website that shows you how to make bombs? When LEO does a surreptious search of your Windows Machine under the new rules of Domestic Espionage you might well find some kindly police officers busting down your door, dragging you away, possibly to Guantonomo Bay, where they can keep you for any length of time without legal recourse on your part as a possible terrorist.

Sound farfetched? Think again.
