Google search leads to visit from counterterrorism police


Recommended Posts

Officers showed up at our door suspecting we were terrorists because we looked up info on pressure cookers and backpacks

 

 

 

They mentioned that they do this about 100 times a week. And that 99 of those visits turn out to be nothing. I don't know what happens on the other 1% of visits and I'm not sure I want to know what my neighbors are up to.

 

 

 

Googling of certain things were creating a perfect storm of terrorism profiling. Because somewhere out there, someone was watching. Someone whose job it is to piece together the things people do on the internet raised the red flag when they saw our search history.
