Am I on some sort of trafficking watchlist now?

TOR throwaway and modified details for obvious reasons: I may or may not have repeatedly purchased large amounts of bitcoins from a bitcoin ATM this last fall and managed a small business from that. After Onymous and a mishap where my delightful mailman delivered a huge amount of weed to the incorrect address, as well as a stern talking to from some friends who didn't want to see me go to prison, I decided to scale things back and supply only in person (goodbye 100% profits). An aside: the misdelivery was never opened and was eventually redelivered to my place after the residents noticed the address was incorrect. I wasn't moving heroin or pounds of blow, just white suburban college drugs, and every order was domestic other than one SSB speed order that never showed around the same time, but it was only a gram for my cat.

All seemed well and good on my path to being a contributing member of society being forever fucked by student loans until some weird things occurred recently. My last two round trips through US airports, three of the security checks have resulted in my laptop and phone being taken for additional hush-hush screening for an extra minute or two before I was released on my merry way. Basically, at the carry-on screening point my shit gets taken aside and an extra TSA employee comes over and they mutter to each other before releasing my stuff and nothing else is said. I know this sounds paranoid, but I had kinda thought I was in the clear and had hoped to continue using darknetmarkets on a smaller capacity for personal orders of lucy, dope, and other hard-to-acquire IRL items for little asian boys.

When I started out, I wasn't very careful with OPSEC; I always used encryption, but I ordered from at least one vendor suspected of having legal troubles (unconfirmed and at this point highly unlikely) and wasn't initially using TAILS or covering my tracks completely while moving the coins. I had a blockchain wallet I never touched outside of TOR that I sent coins to from the ATM before moving them into my market wallets, but that was about it, and I used a burner for the phone verification when purchasing, but obviously my face was on camera with the other 500 drug dealers using that machine.

It's safe to say my days of dealing are over, and I accept that. I also understand I should have been more careful with OPSEC, so there's no need to point that out, though I'm sure fuuuckckc face and the others would happily pile on for his honeypot subreddit and some sick drug karma. Should I be concerned about being monitored, or is this just typical TSA bullshit?

Want to find out if your on a watch list?

Send me $20 in BTC and I will send you an ounce of sugar in a dvd case.

Or get a vendor to do it, vacume bagged ect.

If your package comes back tampered with, you know your drop is done for.

Order a few legal things spread over a few weeks/months, see if there are odds things on the tracking or tampering with the package. That may not tell you they are not looking at your mail 100%, but it can tell you if they are. There have been listings for test/dummy packs on the dmn's.

Hmmm, you had an international order disappear and shortly thereafter you started getting extra screening at the airport.

Welcome to the DHS database.

Nah dude, sounds like you are being a monitored. Air security isn't that bad for me and look like every terrorist thats committed a crime since 2001 and haven't been searched/srutinized much extra upon airy travel.

If TSA is seriously taking a look at you at the airport based on the level of drug-dealing activity you've been doing you must really be a big fish.

They're not looking for information in your electronics. They're hiding tracking devices in them.

I would stop using your name for any and all packages. Youre on a watchlist. How you got there? We can only speculate.


[1 Points] throwahooawayyfoe:

Sounds like normal TSA screening to me. They just wanted to make sure you're not bringing a bomb on-board disguised as a laptop with the detonator being your phone. Usually what they're doing is just making sure the computer checks out and actually turns on and doesn't contain anything that might hurt people. You can thank 9/11 for that. I've been randomly selected for pat-downs and such in the past. Nothing to worry about unless you have something that's super illegal on your machine.

They know, man. They all know...

Time to burn your house down. Extra screening at airports is a huge sign the FBI is tracking your every move.
