    It doesn't matter if you mostly post from work, or if you mostly use a proxy to post here; if an IP address has EVER been used by you that links here then this site will be part of a background check.
    And if they do that then you can guarantee a context sensitive search for words that include; nuclear, politics, weapons, violence, revolution, muslim, bomb, depression, will allbe searched, and will instantly find this thread.
    The Backroom is inaccessible for anyone but Org members who have been granted access. Hence it should be considered pretty unlikely that they would ever be able read this post?

    Honestly, if the British state bother more about knowing its citizens ideas through what they wrote on some obscure internet forum rather than offering them a decent education and healthcare system, it's about time to start a revolution and behead all the current leaders.

    For some reason, though I understand the whole 'terrorist threat' western governements have been advocating to further reduce our freedom, I just can't find a reason why the secret service should bother about this topic, or any other one for that matter (in any country other than China and North Korea). People are entitled to have their own opinion, whether they're handworkers or working at the top levels in the military.

    well the wouldn't, except if the OP decides to work for Aldermaston on nuclear weapons physics, in which case they will be very interested in all aspects of his life, especially the personal opinions he espouses on public forums.

    The backroom is not fully public; I don't think its existence is easily discernable upon entering this site for the fist time, nor the second or third. The more other forums PBI is be a member of, the lower should the possibilty become that they'll be aware of the Backroom's existence. It isn't searchable either; otherwise they use hax. Not saying it is safe; but there are certainly places that are alot less so when posting this topic.

    EDIT: But of course, if they use hax; then the 'security' is to no avail I s'pose.

    Some Physics Jobs in the US, just for reference.

    Mutually-Assured Destruction hasn't been tossed around over here since just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Some crazies began discussing how to emerge the "winner" in a nuke-exchange. 'Win' was defined as the preservation of a national command structure and at least 30% (!) survival of population. All theoretical, of course; just professional wargamers daring to think the unthinkable.

    Is working on a nuclear bomb program immoral? I don't think so; not since the Manhatten Project. That cat was let out of that particular bag 60+ years ago. Is the katana-maker responsible for any murderous uses his product is put to?
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
