I seriously hope that MY taxes are not paying someone a salary for this...
considering how people get away with much larger, obvious income tax
evasions that don't require extensive Internet forensics to uncover the
identity of a person who is considering the possibility of committing a
crime at some point in the future.

I suspect the IRS would get a lot better mileage simply by auditing a larger
number of tax returns each year.

True. But that assumes that the IRS actually has the resources to
enforce
petty income tax evasion by tracking down suspicious postings on the
internet with no other evidence of wrongdoing; that it's even possible
to
identify the individual who posted that (is it a real email address?
did it
exist before last week?); and finally it seems likely that the actual
offense would not be committed for years.
