Is this worrying, or am I just feeling a tad paranoid? Simbaud quotes this, referring to a CBS news report on the 17th:
“FBI field offices and Homeland Security agencies will be advised of “extraordinary measures” that will go into place “beginning the first week of October through the elections” . . . .
Specifically, the plan calls for “aggressive – even obvious – surveillance” techniques to be used on a short list of people suspected of being terrorist sympathizers, but who have not committed a crime. Other “persons of interest,” including their family members, may also be brought in for questioning, one source said . . .”
Further down the blog, we find a reference to this. Obviously far too tinfoil’n’tongs to be worth believing. I hope.
