watch what you google

A New York couple were surprised when a swat team from the Joint Terrorism Task Force showed up at their door.

 

Quote:

They were peppering my husband with questions. Where is he from? Where are his parents from? They asked about me, where was I, where do I work, where do my parents live. Do you have any bombs, they asked. Do you own a pressure cooker? My husband said no, but we have a rice cooker. Can you make a bomb with that? My husband said no, my wife uses it to make quinoa. What the hell is quinoa, they asked. ...

Have you ever looked up how to make a pressure cooker bomb? My husband, ever the oppositional kind, asked them if they themselves weren’t curious as to how a pressure cooker bomb works, if they ever looked it up. Two of them admitted they did.

Turns out the couple had googled the words pressure cooker and backpack separately within a certain amount of time, and so apparently it raised flags with the NSA or some other agency or contractor (who knows?).
