Yes, I agree that the computers are getting better...and the new younger tech savvy agents are doing some great work. Unfortunately there are still plenty of Cold War dinosaurs still calling the shots in some of these agencies...until those guys are out of the picture, very little will change. There was no reason why it needed to take as long as it did for me...the very first FBI agent knew I was harmless, but the system didn't have enough trust in him to let him do his job and instead he had to move it down the line. The system of inefficiency is really sad and I really hope that these folks will do something about this.

This project of yours has me fascinated. Not so much for it's symbolic nature but for practical purposes. They say that when you write down your caloric intake every day, you are more apt to lose weight and eat more healthily. I've also heard it said that if you write down or document every purchase you make, you are more apt to be a responsible spender.
Do you find that your documenting of both your eating habits and your finances has had a positive impact on your dietary and financial health?
Hey, awesome. Thanks for dropping in!
So, I'm not clear on this: As the dinosaurs retire, these new agents are going to be better at sifting through our data. Do you think that will be a good thing because they'll get less false positives? I fear it's not just previous experience, but something else that makes those dinosaurs act like idiots. Perhaps they got to call the shots because they are over-reaching paranoid idiots? These tech savvy guys might be tomorrows dinosaurs calling the shots, but with more of our information. What you did was pretty slick, btw.
