I just opened up my stats counter to see what kind of weird foreign blogs people had surfed to my site from... Scrolling down the list I find a Yahoo search result. I click on the link and it tells me that I was hit #18 on somebody's search for "bc bud smuggling", the hit was an excerpt taken from a joke in a post that I made two weeks ago. So either this dude saw something interesting in my search results caption, or he clicked on all 17 before me. I was curious about this guy. His resolved IP address told me that he came from a office network within "____.dhs.gov". I punched up www.dhs.gov, and guess what it is? The American Department of Homeland Security. Some dude who works in paranoid Yankee central was checkin out my site for possible leads on bud smuggling operations. That's so awesome.
Look Ma, I'm a potential threat to national security!!
You have to ask yourself... is this some guy with a red stapler who's paid to just surf the internet all day, lookin for crap to report people for? If that's the case, why wasn't his IP protected? Better yet, why is he using Yahoo to search? Wouldn't the American government have some crazy-powerful search engine that could scour everything in cyberspace? Or maybe it was just a computer, set to automatically scan for "trigger" words and check those links for more triggers? Who knows.
