Let's look at user 39509 in file #1. He searched for: oklahoma disciplined doctors oklahoma disciplined pastors tons of myspace layouts including "religious graphics for myspace" sequoyah county oklahoma sex offenders sequoyahcountysheriff.org sanyo tv serial number b9300244587937 rental properties in tahlequah oklahoma chase bad kids tahlequah public schools and then the creepy part: pre teen porn pics (more than once) That's clearly enough information that could identify him, especially the TV serial number... Now this guy, based on what he's up to, I wouldn't mind so much if he was identified, but ... you get the idea. This data is unbelievabley private. Here’s something pretty creepy.
