It could be worse. You might do somehting really un-American and pay off your credit card. This could catch the attention of the DHS.

Since I fly two to three days a week on average, I have been "selecteed" once or twice. Once when traveling overseas, when I got to my destination, my luggage had a card from the TSA in it saying it had been inspected.

With the wire tapping going on, I wonder how many times my wife has had her phone calls recorded, most of her family is overseas. We have a couple family members in Saudi Arabia as well

I have to admit I've been doing road trips recently. Loving the prius more and more cause its more affordable than flying places.

that's a nice sticker.

I think I'll mail santa claus some flower seeds so I can get a sticker like that when USPS can't find him in the spring time.

One of my friends got me one of these for my birthday a few years back, I'm sure it's almost guaranteed to result in a search:

Alright, first you're going to need one of these and then it gets a little tricky.

We received some interesting mail today.      <_<   
It was from one of my wife's cousins.  I think the enclosed noisy package of commercial wildflower seeds  may have piqued DHS's curiosity.

I had something very similar happen during the Regan regime back in 1982. I had written him a letter, a civil letter, complaining about his cut backs on student financial aid. A few weeks later I received a letter from my grandma (a Danish immigrant) that had been sliced open and clearly perused - then stapled closed and stamped "Opened by the United States government", not the post office. Several times after that over the years I received other letters that had been opened, but not stamped as the first one was. Other letters I sent were also opened before received by the recipients.

I guess he didn't like my letter.

Now if you had been a drunk loser like Aldrich Ames at the CIA, they would have left you alone.

Even as you sold out vital security information to the former USSR and paid cash for a $500K home.
