Looking this up on web-search points to the following website,
The question is why are the US Military scanning my PC?

frogman...

Should read, trying to scan my PC cos the firewall stopped them :-)

Tickettyboo...

Cos they are even more paranoid than any of us with a firewall to stop
them?
:-)

Rabbit...

See you shouldn't have ordered those Jack Daniels last night ;-)

Perhaps they're looking for someone to attach a magnetic mine to the hull of
some ship in Scarborough harbour. They do like to use the local labour you
know. And I believe Frogmen have been known to do that sort of thing in the
past

frogman...

Silly me I should have realised that ;-)
