For some... Trust me.. I know that. From something I just typed to someone offlist regarding my younger daze...
My father, who, as I mentioned, was a US Army-attached coordinator for technical writers during the Gemini and Apollo program, was spooked by the feds and had his security clearance threatened because of my 16 year old asses involvement in the anti-Vietnam War movement brought to the fed's attention by the New York city "Red Squad" (Bureau of Special Services). At that time they didn't know he hadn't seen me in 10 years and had little sway over my life. Today, as Ed Snowden's dox show, they WOULD know, and they can do this sort of stalking to anyone in minutes, if not an hour or so.
