Wouldn't it be more interesting (and informative) to see what actually 
happens under the FRA law? I communicated for some time with a gentleman 
called Callahan - a word that includes the letters "allah", and I hoped that 
the filters would be simple enough to identify me as a terrorist threat. 
What would happen then? Would I get an invitation from the police to get 
acquainted? ("Oh no, you are not a suspect, we onlyt want to meet you") 
Would I be followed by a shadow in a raincoat? I have already been 
identified as someone of foreign origin ("allochtoon" in Dutch terminology) 
because my mother was born in Germany (where my grandfather was a Dutch(!) 
diplomat), and most terrorists are foreigners. Or will they simply ignore 
me, because I don't look like someone of mediterrenean origin, with my blue 
eyes and blond hair?
