« Remote searching of your body | Main | The anvil guy is coming back »

These guys have been sniffing around Boomershoot.org for years.  But I first noticed them on this blog last December when they were looking for exploding targets.  Now they are looking for where their own IP address can be found on the web.  Very curious folks they are.

Yeah, that Google is a funny thing. Type in what you want to find and Google directs you to the page that has it... (no matter what you are looking for).

Government needs to investigate. The control of information is key in the control of civilian's lives.

Yup, just like they assumed. Way to much information out there. Looks like a law needs to be passed.

And if you are raising hairs at the ATF Boomershoot 2007 is in danger, (no matter how nice the local agents have treated you).

I think it's an open question on whether the government can "put the genie back in the bottle." China's having a tough time of it. Encryption, steganography, and a high speed communication channel is tough to defeat.
