I'm conversing with a Muslim from Syria over the internet... Are CIA agents going to wiretap me and arrest me?

Question

I'm simply trying to learn Arabic! But it wouldn't surprise me!

How much do I have to worry? lol

Answer 1

Unless he's a known terrorist, you have absolutely zero about which to worry.

Answer 2

I would think that  the call is on a hard drive somewhere.   Your number is probably flagged for monitoring.  

And they want you to think your calls are tapped.  They want you to know the citizens have been arrested and sent to secret prisons.  The want you to know there are secret prisons and they want you to know they do torture people.  It all about creating fear and and is straight out of the repressive government playbook.    

You why china doesn't have more protesting?  Because the world knows china will drive over you with a tank if you don't get out of the way.   The army was there, anyone 2-4-6-8 men could have detained the man and moved him off to the side but now they have that fear to protest in the bank and the whole world saw it on film.  

Answer 3

No,  they currently are not allowed to arrest people for just being morons.

Answer 4

Only if he's a known terrorist on a watch list.  And if not, how would you know someone isn't doing that anyway, with or without a Patriot Act, since it is illegal either way?  Furthermore, how do you know someone in Syria isn't wire tapping your super-secret conversation?

Answer 5

what are you saying in arabic?

that is where they will get ya!!!lol

Answer 6

How is your arabic coming as all the dialects are different ?

Personally our family has been learning Egyptian Arabic for 5 years - starting on-line then over the phone to get the pronunciation correct.

Personally, I doubt very much you have anything to worry about.

Answer 7

If you could fine out where Saddams WMD's are hidden is Syria, that would make you a national hero. Well, with half the citizens anyway.

Answer 8

Why can't you learn Arabic from another source.  mmm

I hope they do have a lil chat with you.

Answer 9

Look out your window and if you see a gray panel truck, that's them monitoring you.

Answer 10

If he's not on the terror watch list, you should be OK.  I, personally, would try to learn Arabic from a more reliable source that I knew was not going to raise eyebrows.

Answer 11

I sure hope so!

Answer 12

nothing to worry about unless you mention the crooks in our govts names  

Answer 13

be afraid....be very afraid.

Answer 14

You are conversing with a syrian muslim over the internet to learn Arabic?  Sounds like BS to me.  But if you are doing it over the internet you can thank your buddy Clinton he initiated the Echelon program.  But if you are worried contact your therapist.  They have drugs for what ails you.

Why don't you just buy a book?

Answer 15

Be assured your conversation will be reviewed.

I have no problem with that.
