Does anybody think that maybe people from the government come on here to see what we are all writing about?

CIA, DIA, MoD, FBI, FEMA, NASA, nearly ALL branches of service, foreign armed services, Boeing, Northrop, Lockheed, Sikorsky, etc. just to name a few off the top of my head....

As for them "watching the boards", I'd bet good money they use a filter program to scour the web looking for "hotwords". No doubt, ATS will come up often on these, and it wouldn't surprise me if we had our own dedicated "watcher"....man, wouldn't THAT be the job, hehe...

NO. We KNOW they are...
think it should be the adminstrations job to locate any government agents posting on here. they are not welcome here, and should be banned.
Not at all, some of our most contributing members work for government agencies/contractors, etc. Not to mention, such a search would be futile. If such an agent wished, all they'd have to do is go to the library and post or post from home.... No spy gadgets required..... We DO however, crack down on those SAYING they work for such an agency if in fact they do not...as this violates the Terms of the site.
Interesting.
Care to share which "government agencies/contractors,etc."?
Note please that I am not asking that members be identified....just the agencies/contractors that employ "some of our most contributing members".
Thanks in advance.

Just remeber everything you type on your computer, every web site you go to is monitored. That is not paranoia, it is fact. But as long as you keep that in mind and don't say anything which can be construed as a threat or implicate yourself in illicit activites, they can't do much of anything but scare you.

Don't they have more important things to do, like fighting terrorism for example?
I shouldn't worry about it if I were You.

dont worry other people know now so if you dont pop in from time to time to drop a few lines it will be noticed they cant get us all and If we all know the secret that I know we have nothing to fear....
the secret is make sure alot of people know who you are and when you think you need to be watched out for and keep people up to date on when you are expected to return and they dare not touch that would be stupid I mean really stupid cause everyone will know exactly who to go hunting for see greater power in numbers and knowledge

Well, I work for The Boeing Company, the largest aerospace company and the second-largest defense contractor in the world. And I work for the military/defense side, not the commercial airplane side. Does that count?
One of the things I believe in is denying (and fighting) ignorance.
I see a lot of good ideas here, and some of the ideas and beliefs make a lot of sense.
On the other hand, I see a lot of paranoid or just plain scientifically-iliterate postings here; and you can bet that I, as both a skeptic and someone with some backgroundin engineering, will put inmy two cents about such ideas.
Anyone who denies anything out of hand, in my opinion, is a close-minded ignoramus. On the other hand, anyone who accepts things without thinking them true is the same.

Everyone must remember: anybody one these boards who has a security clearance is bound by regulation to report any instances of inadvertant or purposeful disclosure of classified information to the appropriate authorities. Allowing classified information to be compromised by inaction is just as bad as commiting the offense itself.
