"Michele Catalano refused to grant interviews or answer questions after her blog post went viral Thursday

The Internet went wild on Thursday for a blog post written by a Long Island journalist who claimed that a Google search for "pressure cooker" and "backpack" had led police to her doorstep.

At a time of Edward Snowden and heightened paranoia over NSA surveillance, the implication was clear: Everyone is being watched. Always."
