You've got to admit that this story does seem a bit strange. If they know what you've searched for, why would they bother showing up and letting "potential bad guys" know that they're wise to them? Now said "potential bad guys" will be more coy about their search habits. Further more, if said "potential bad guy" is not a bad guy at all, now you've just freaked out a US citizen who might turn around and write their congress-members about how big bad government is on their lawn. It seems like particularly odd policy for a law enforcement agency. Granted, the aforementioned hasn't stopped similar policies in the past from happening. I dunno. I'm still skeptical.

- perlpimp 13y agoThere is fair share of weird stories. Way back when cellphones were just getting GSM, I had a strange call person on the other end of the line was demanding private information and I just balked at that. About 5mins later my phone was dead, apparently some fraud depart of cellco revoked my cell account and billed me for 250$ dollars suspension fee. They wanted 3 pieces of government issued Photo ID and another 200$ dollars to restore the account. The Carrier was Fido I think. I was working as a developer, all my bills were paid on time. It was kind of weird to get such an abusive treatment, right out of the blue .. so there are some true and weird stories to go around... my 2c
