Why doesn't Tim and anyone else who suspects that they have reached the much-sought status of "superhacker on gov't files not just write to their local friendly federal government office and ask for a copy of their own records?
Of course any interesting information they've got is likely to be classified, but at least you'll find out whether any such information is stored on the files.
Of course, requesting your own government file is likely to draw attention to yourself, so it's probably best not to do so unless you're sure that they already know that you know-that-they-know-something.
Yes, acoording to a 2600 article (admittedly not the best source),
requesting a file on yoursself causes one to be created if one does
not exist.
