Eighties video star Rockwell isn’t the only one who feels like he’s being watched these days. As domestic surveillance grows, an increasing number of individuals are becoming concerned over the government’s influence on their personal lives.

Richard M. Smith of ComputerBytesMan has come up with a simple test that can be used to determine whether or not the government is tapping into your email account. A hotmail address and some of what Smith calls “terrorist trigger words” are all it takes to find out if the Feds are snooping you out.
