Geez, this is turning heavy. Regarding LEO - any of you guys heard of 'Echelon'? It's a massive electronic eaves-dropping program that's been around for a while (like years and years) and is not restricted to the US. It is used primarily for defence and business communications but with the US government pumping more and more bucks into electronic surveillence who knows what they do now.

If you wanna stay safe on the web either use >256bit encryption, use one of the anonymous IP address services or simply don't post anything that can be used against you (e.g. "a friend of mine who grows...").

You should assume that you can be traced. And as someone pointed out, they are not interested in small fry (yet). I do wonder what all those FEMA camps will be used for, they can hold many thousands of people - maybe one day there will be a huge roundup of pot growers
