TheAtlanticWire: Google Pressure Cookers and Backpacks, Get a Visit from the Feds
"Michele Catalano was looking for information online about pressure cookers. Her husband, in the same time frame, was Googling backpacks. Wednesday morning, six men from a joint terrorism task force showed up at their house to see if they were terrorists. Which begs the question: How'd the government know what they were Googling?" I don't know if this is the whole story, but if it is, Google and the Feds have some explaining to do. We don't do this in America. Via @slublog. Update: It wasn't the Feds; it was the local PD. Thanks to @DrewMTips for that. [rdbrewer]
