New FBI to Monitor Websites, Libraries, Churches:
“The FBI is now telling the American people, ‘You no longer have to do anything unlawful in order to get that knock on the door,’ ” said Laura Murphy, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington office. “You can be doing a prefectly legal activity like worshiping or talking in a chat room, they can spy on you anyway.” …
The new rules will allow agents to surf the Internet for Web sites that might give hints to terrorist activity, according to the description. The new guidelines will allow investigators to seek out and “identify sites and forums in which bomb-making instructions, preparations for cyberterrorism, child pornography, and stolen credit card information are openly traded and disseminated.”

Bomb-making instructions:
- Get some explosive material.
- Put it in something.
- Detonate it. Presto.
