You used TOR, just to check it out? You have some bitcoin? You google strange stuff about electronics, just to know how things work? You downloaded truecrypt? You have a hacker or two in your phonebook? Use VPN?

I bet any signle one of these actions make you more suspicious/interesting than 90% of the rest of the world and probably you did more than one thing in that list. And we all know they basically try to record everything. How are the chances they at least capture the most interesting 10%?

To (loosely) quote the artist: "We, as hackers, artists, political people, ended up on some list anyhow."

Yep. The potentially unconventional people are homogenized the most by surveillance. It's hard to be creative when you don't have the secrecy to play around with ideas unseriously.
