Big Boss, Not Big Brother, Spotted Long Island Family's 'Suspicious' Google Searches

123. You've skipped over a whole lot of her story.

Her story was that the Google turned over her search history to the NSA, which then sent the JTF/FBI to search her house.

Problems:
1) Google wasn't involved, it was her husband's former employer
2) The NSA wasn't involved, it was her husband's former employer
3) It wasn't the JTF or FBI, it was the Suffolk county police.
4) It wasn't a search. You can tell because they just talked to people, even in her story.
5) It wasn't just her innocuous search terms at home. It was whatever her husband did at work.
6) She claims her husband was laid off. The company said they fired him. Note that laying someone off is technically firing them, just not firing them for cause. So both could be accurate.

You're still claiming it was innocuous search terms that had the police show up. You're also trying to paint a SWAT-team raid picture with "6 armed men!!!!" - it goes well with the stock pictures people have been attaching to this story of a SWAT team....but it's not what happened. Yep, the detectives had sidearms....just like every other detective in the US. How shocking.

The police showed up and asked questions because the story they got from the former employer hinted at something nefarious. After asking questions, the police determined there wasn't anything to it and they went away.

Now, what this story did do is make her a whole bunch of money from visitors to her sleepy little blog. Hence, linkbait.
