It's just occurred to me that they probably have sniffer engines connected to Google that look for combinations of keywords, and when they find a match, the searcher ends up on a watch list or something.
In the course of researching my two books, I have looked up some dubious things. Off the top of my head, I can recall that I have Google mapped Faslane Naval Base (where the UK's nuclear subs are docked), tried to establish where the nuclear missiles are re-conditioned, enquired about killer satellites, and researched satellite earth stations and the surrounding areas. I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten about that should be added to the list.
Maybe I should start doing my research on public wi-fi from now on.
Interestingly, there are two men in trench coats and dark glasses coming this way. I wonder what they want...
Whatever you do, don't take the candy they offer you! ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late response. I took th esweets :o|
DeleteLOL! Oh man, don't get my paranoid conspiracy theorist started! Good luck with the men in trench coats!
ReplyDeleteNow there's a good idea for a new book... Researching a book, and getting looked up by the CIA. lol
DeleteHahahaha! Yeah, I've worried before, too. Especially since I had to look up information on kinds of bombs that could pretty much end the world.
ReplyDeleteI seems like we all go through this when we look up 'dodgy' stuff. At leat you have a book deal to back your excuse up ;o)
