Michele Catalano was looking for information online about pressure cookers. Her husband, in the same time frame, was Googling backpacks. Wednesday morning, six men from a joint terrorism task force showed up at their house to see if they were terrorists.

The irony of going to that page...

Odd, it works fine for me.

Well perhaps Emperor Obama could at least send out an official communication to outline all unacceptable Google search keywords and phrases.

Dude I saw an article today that the NSA can activate your Android microphone now.

They have been able to do that since the iPhone 3G, with a warrant of course.

I'd bet they've never NOT had those abilities.

Do you think it would have been any different if they'd found the anarchists cookbook in his work desk, with some pipebombs circled? and notes of how to build them?

No difference: same unlawful search and seizure.

Look for the desktop version of the link. The mobile version does not have it.

Yep, there it is, thanks. The OT link was to the mobile version.

Gotta say that's the first time I've seen detectives outfitted in full riot gear. I have to admit the photo does change the flavor of the story.

You were right the first time. Even the picture is misleading.

From the bottom of the article:

you are a f***ing idiot as usual. It was local police, and his coworkers that set off the alarm.

Just like IRS political targeting was not done by Obama appointees such as Lois Lerner and Wilkins, but by rogue low level Cincinnatti office fall guys...

Even when harrassing law abiding citizens it appears that Obama is still leading from behind, he is just a very mediocre communist.

they didn't seize anything; They didn't execute a warrant. they came by and talked to him, which he agreed to.

Roberto, did you fix that toilet? The unlawful search was obviously the peek into his search patterns. Subsequent visit is obviously not the illegal search since the idiot agreed to it (just like the dumb blacks who were blackmailed by cops into giving up their money). Don't pretend to be more dumb than you already are.

Thank for playing and all, but you really are just too stupid to bother offering any opinions.

Stop humping my leg, boy. Go fix a toilet.

What the hell do you do for a living

Rest assured that whatever I do for a living does not involve fixing toilets.
