You don't need goverment super computers to track someone down. A guy on another firearm board I frequent thought it was fine to post his guns, because "no one can find me". He even made a $200 bet that no one could locate him. It took only a few hours before someone PM'd the guy hisname, address, and telephone number.

I know of a military rifle collector who had a 'hot' burgulary over the guns he had. He had a link in his signature linesin his poststo his own website that had a list and pictures of dozens of high value guns. At the bottom of his website he had his email address which read something like 'bobjonesinflagstaff@internet.com"
On his way out of his house on the way to work one morning, a guy walked from around the side of his house and put a pistol in his ear and demanded that he open his safes and present certain guns- the guns were the ones featured on the man's website. Another guy helped stack the guns in a pickup truck. Tehy made off with $40-50 thousand dollars worth of guns.
The man posted about his robbery on the forum and was shocked that they knew exactly what he had in his collection. I looked at his website, googled his name and 'flagstaff' and sent him a PM stating that it only took me about 1 minute to figure out his address.
Like I tell my wife- nothing is secure, locks only keep honest people from prying further, and all you can do is make yourself a more difficult target.
As far as posting pictures of guns or even talking about guns goes, if the .gov wants to take your guns, all they need to do is look at member ship of sites like this and many others to determine who out there has the guns- it can be readily be assumed that if you belong to this site, you could be put on a list.
