ROTFLOL. you just don't get it at all. IRS code requires millions of American to provide Uncle Sam with all kinds of personal finance data. It also requires many whom you deal with to keep records on your dealings with them. That information goes to a place that is not very secure. Those who are keeping tabs on you also donot keep is secure. LOL, you really think that some words you use that tickle a mathematically driven heuristic filter that flags some message once in a blue moon is any real thread to your privacy. If for some reason you do connect with phone numbers that have been identified with know terrorists, it is more likely your message may be flagged. You really think that is some threat to your privacy. the IRS says you must give private data and others must keep and provide them with your private data. As more rules are created, more data is recorded. Do you think your comment... "I assume that you still have the $300 tax refund check from back in '01 since it was probably too complicated for you to bother with." makes someone look very very stupid. I never got a $300 tax refund check from back in '01, I keep my life simple and private.
