Not looking on their own FB or other accounts, but those of their friends, family and even their enemies. <br /><br />It shot me into a flashback (my own personal FB) to Christmas Eve and the Twelfth Day of Christmas, I was a teenager... some folks from our church brought a young mother with two kids needing a place to sleep that night, and that she was going to meet up with her husband the next day (Christmas) and we're kind of famous for sharing what we have even if all we have is beans and taters.<br /><br /> They left the next day, and we were going to Ft Worth so we were preparing for the move, Jan 6th... when the FBI came around. Said her husband got out of prison (we knew part) but he actually was at a super minimum "walk away" prison and he... walked away. (we didn't know that) but that was the only time I ever saw a FBI badge. And got on my first watch list. So did my grandmother, my youngest sister who was 3, probably put our cat and dogs a separate watch list. I sort of blew it off for a long time. Comedic, almost. Except those dudes are really diligent and have ways to make people disappear. <br /><br />Back then somebody could spread the bread for an airplane ticket, no ID, no questions, and be anywhere in the world in 12 days. I don't know the other side of the story. Now with FB we're all on a watch list. Even if we never subscribed. Privacy protection? Hell to the F--- No. McCarthy on steroids. I don't need any particulars of the other side of the story.
