#PennedPossibilities 390
If the FBI were to look through your computer, would you be concerned about your search history?
(British here.)
Some of the stuff in my search history could definitely be framed as "materials relating to terrorism" by a sufficiently malign prosecution: but as I'm a bookstore-visible novelist who writes about stuff like that for a living, they'd have to be idiots to try it in front of a jury.
