    While not explicitly a 2A issue, it certainly is relevant. The wife was searching for pressure cookers; the husband for backpacks; the son was reading articles about the Boston bombing. Big Brother is watching your internet activity, and following-up with armed investigators.

    I could easily see tripping the magic algorithm's threshold by searching for firearms parts, gunsmithing videos on YouTube, and how to make your own ammunition (nevermind that the lack of commercially available ammo makes these searches perfectly reasonable.) I've trained the wife to say "no" when agents of the state ask to come inside. However, I think she would royally freak if six armed police officers parked three Suburbans on the front yard. She's been taught to obey authority figures, and I expect it wouldn't take too much bullying before she caved. We're going to read this article together and then have a "what if" conversation. Should be unpleasant (but necessary.)
