It's a community where people regularly talk about ways to limit the NSA's power and who are actively encouraging people to use encryption to weaken their data mining capabilities. Do you think that doesn't raise any red flags?
We already know they're more likely to target encrypted connections, so what does mean for those who enable encrypted communication?
You can go ahead and make fun of this like you did a few comments below, but if you believe this couldn't happen then I think you've been living under a rock the past few weeks.

Do you think that doesn't raise any red flags? To be frank I don't; Hacker News is a very tame community. There are lots and lots of internet communities ranging from fringe politics to neo-nazi groups that rank way higher in the 'potential domestic threat' category.
