You shouldn't have told, now they will be looking for you.

Don't worry Homeland Security will take years to get back on that, they
have more important things to check on like toothpaste.

You're not safe from HS! Unless you are actually planning on an
attack. Besides that, they have some weird shoe fetish.

There is software in copiers so the Secret Service knows what you are
up to. (not making money). Your CD burner burns it's serial number on
every CD you write. Your IP number gets tagged to evert pacfket you
send on the internet. There ARE perople watching you

The sad part is your and my tax money is going for all this stuff and it
has such a volume that any real information gathered is lost in all the
volume and all that money is wasted.

Here's a Reddit link I followed today:
http://www.eff.org/Privacy/printers/docucolor/

I didn't read the whole thing, but it appears that this particular
color laser printer (and maybe other printers as well) prints an
almost invisible pattern of light yellow dots on every page that
encodes the date, time, printer model, and printer serial number.

Big Brother indeed!

Considering IPs, in the reality at SC.123988653 when you request a web
page, your IP is not sent. Since the web server doesn't know where to
send the page, it's sent to a post office in Kansas. You have to go
there to see the page you requested, and to pay a fee for using their
equipment.

You're completely safe if you're a highly-paid terrorist-for-hire.
It's only the innocent who have something to worry about.

OK, a few dumb criminals too. Just not the well-organized ones.

It takes them 5 times longer to find you...


Or makes it five times easier to figure out who you based on who had
access to five machines instead of just one.

I guess the lesson is, if you are writing something you want to hide,
use a printer cobbled up from an assortment of junk parts that can't
be traced back to you (dumpster treasures collected over time) then
immediately destroy it scattering the parts to the wind.

Or just buy your printer cash.

There are those who would like to see cash become illegal.

I'm still using a Canon BJ200. I don't think it knows how to spy on
me.

For color I have a printer I got at a hamfest, used. No names, no
video cameras. Plus I wore a hat.

In many cases, granny. Ever hear of a "T-Bill"?

You probably would kill your grandmother if you owed her a quarter.

The scary thing is a huge part of the debt is owned by countries we do
not consider all that friendly to us. China might call the debt and
settle for the state of California

So it's really other countries? I didn't now that.
