Just because you're paranoid...

Using email, the web, mobile phones and the like, you sometimes wonder just how much the military/security services can eavesdrop. And I suspect that the answer is, they can see and hear exactly what they damn well please. But it's rare to get confirmation.

Today, however, there's something spooky in my site stats. A visitor from the domain usmc.mil (The US Navy Information Center) looked at my write-up on the new Beretta semi-auto. Nothing unusual there. But the 'out click' was on an image called http://img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_wrench_allbkg.png, which links to an editing screen so you can edit a 'widget' on the blog layout.

You don't even see that image, let alone get to go to that edit screen, unless you're logged in as me. The truth is out there...
