Google Pressure Cookers and Backpacks, Get a Visit from the Feds

I really hate to say this, but why am I not surprised?

HEY, want to target terrorist homes? Perhaps 100% have had carrots, used gas, and have cotton clothes!

I don't have a pressure cooker, but my mother did. My father might! I HAVE been looking towards getting a backpack though.

WOW, you saw my more open and playful post. I figured some would get the wrong idea.

Actually, I have learned a LOT about tilapia. For one, the females hold the fertilized eggs in their mouths, and use their mouths almost like kangaroos use their pouches. During that time, THEY DON'T EAT! This means they don't grow as fast as the males! GREEDY fish mongers will bath the females in male hormones, or expose them to viruses that change them into inferior males. They can then grow as big as, seem like, act like, and even father fry like REAL males, but the offspring will not be as healthy, etc...

ALSO, I like the idea of having a viable microcosm that can be self sustaining. And WHO trusts the chinese anyway? NO OFFENSE to the chinese people on this forum, I am speaking about the companies and government. The ones that brought us LEAD in childs toys, human protein, etc... The ones that brought us melamine in pet food. The ones that run what is recognized as the most polluted city on the planet.

So you can see why I was studying tilapia.

Ah la irony.

Few people even knew about pressure cookers being a main component of an improvised bomb until they unleashed the information everywhere after the Boston incident.

I remember when the previously unknown word "pararazzi" shot to fame with the younger generation back when Princess Diana suffered her fate when the term was slung around all over the news and subsequently slotted into conversation at any given opportunity by the masses.

The media is the finest example of how fire spreads.

Where's Paul Harvey "and now for the rest of the story" when you need him?

The fact they even knew this was going on chills me. If they were so damned worried about "security" -- they'd be watching a border that WMD are carried over with no problems.

Ya know - I am a very staunch rockhound - we use backpacks, and I'm also an excellent cook. Why should my government even KNOW that? Will I end up in an inquisition over it? I'm not proud of this crap -- at all. This is the BS that the Russian people had to live with daily during the cold war - and before the curtain fell. There's nothing GOOD about it.

Yep, unfortunately people will still ignore the real story because it goes against their view of what they want to think about this country or perhaps about it's particular current elected members.

This country has always had problems from day one and always will, but yes, we can still love it and have pride in it.

It is one of the foods that is considered very good. But WHY should they even QUESTION!?!?!? It is NONE of their business. Pressure cookers have been around for a LONG time. And usually they are simply to COOK!

Sal - It wasn't "her" employer - it was her husband's employer...and the husband had just lost his job.

My guess is he had auto complete on and clicked on pressure cooker bombs when looking for pressure cookers. Stranger things have happened. He had been terminated and then the ex-boss found those searches and reported them - not surprising under the circumstances.

Surveillance isn't for our safety. It's to ensure those who won't go along with THEIR money grubbing and power mongering are kept in poverty and powerless. They could care less if we're shooting each other.
