Luckily, I not involved in either of those things...
And even joking about the former makes me uncomfortable.

Haha, if the CIA were tracking your computer, I very much doubt they'd install something blatantly stating CIA. They would use a code-name, something that you wouldn't detect. Afterall, if they're watching you, they very much don't want you to know that they're watching you, because then you'd stop all illegal activity, and they'd have nothing against you, because they wouldn't be able to catch you in the act.

Strangely, the only pages that had a hit on that keyword string were in French.

Ha! That's exactly what they want Tee to think. Make him feel safe, then pounce on him like a bunch of hyenas.

No, it's either the Canadian Impotency Association, or the California Institute of Anal-ology, or the Central Insertion Authority
