OK, I stand corrected. My apologies. Don't sue that employer because it's not worth the aggravation.

OK, re ML, I assume security agencies also use other additional means of gathering intelligence. Elementary logic: the lack of current proof does not mean you did not do it or intend to do it soon. It is a myth to say you are innocent until proven guilty. Again I make an assumption about attitude: in security/intelligence circles everyone is guilty until "probably-proven" innocent, and even then you'd better keep a close eye on them. By analogy, the competent bodyguard to a VIP automatically assumes everyone in the vicinity is armed and lethal and constantly evaluates potential risks. The lack of apparent gun doesn't mean there is not a lethally dosed nearly invisible needle attached to someone's finger. No gun does not equal no intent to harm. No evidence does not indicate no intent to harm. So it makes sense to constantly evaluate all possible indicators, including subtle or unconscious ones, or even technically astute network-savvy ones.
