I think the railroads have better things to do than monitor TRAINS magazine forums. Certainly some of the more inflammatory subjects posted would provoke a PR type to send a conciliatory, diplomatically worded response. <br /> <br />The NSA is a big organization devoted to monitoring foreign communications. Yes, they have computers that will do searches on key words. A human being still has to read and do analysis on those communications. They are short on linguists; they are short on analysts; and most of the stuff they intercept is immediately classified as "burn before reading". So to worry about immediate visits by "agents" of NSA is kind of like worrying about a visit from Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. They don't act on the intelligence they develop; there are no hordes of NSA agents running down Internet leads; and if there were, they would be chasing after foreign citizens, not Americans who could sue them into oblivion. <br /> <br />Erik <br /> <br />
