Anyone who uses this offshoot of MILnet should recognize that what they say here is more-or-less always under surveillance, and, if they're not comfy with that, they shouldn't be here. They should be sitting in their rubber room with an aluminum-foil cap on their head.
You're free to use the Internet freely. You're responsible for whatever you do. And others
are aware of whatever you do. 99.9% of the people out there are dull-as-donuts. The other 0.1% are a gigantic problem.
Who are they?
What are they up to?
It
is the duty of both the military and law-enforcement to "know today what the enemy or the bad-guy is going to do tomorrow." And when those people are doing their jobs properly and they "pounce," as they do from time to time, well, you'll never know it because you have no "need to know." Just don't be doing anything that they would find,
ahh, "interesting," and they basically are going to ignore you completely.
Heh. You really don't want to know what those guys have to deal with every day, anyhow. In the days before police began using encrypted digital communication, you could buy a police-scanner and listen in on what was going down, just in your own "peaceful" neighborhood
... No, you really don't want to know.
P.S. "Thanks, guys. And gals. Whoever you are. No, no, I don't need to know. But, thanks anyway."
