Of course if they don't have a file on you, and you send them a FOIA request, they may open up a file on you just for the purposes of handling your request...

That is why after your first FOIA request you send another FOIA request that requests all correspondence and documents generated as a result of your first. Rinse and repeat until you find an attractor. ;)
Since their logic is you cannot be safe unless they know everything about you - they most likely have a file on every human being in the USA, maybe a large majority of the planet.
I wouldn't rule out the possiblity that your participation in a thread about this is in your file.
haha don't worry, they have a file on you ;)
