Think about it:

1. Prog fans are proven to be significantly more intelligent than fans of nearly any other genre.

2. Intelligent people generally share an anti-establishment mentality.

=> Gather together all prog fans, let them publically share personal info such as albums they listen to (think of all the Last.fm tracking sigs) and you've got a huge database of potential terrorist suspects!

Thoughts?

Voted Maybe. I'd say rather potentially than essentially. I think they rather focus on the social media.
 
Makes me think of this one (half a century old now):

I have always suspected Toaster Mantis was an NSA agent. I have some more theories too. Let's get together and talk about how they overlap over coffee. Lots of coffee.

I ejaculated into a honeypot once.
 
Also, I love the government, they are the masterly at their handling of the world. America is supreme and every other country isn't worthy to drink our spit. USA forever.

OP was asking a serious question so I don't know why you would think humour is appropriate.

^ I agree, this is serious business.  Prog fans are undoubtedly at the top of most of the world's intelligence services because of our uncanny ability to prevent anyone from knowing what we do all day or even what 'Prog' is.

Have only met a few anti-establishment types on PA, over the years. Have run into far too many knuckle-dragging pro-establishment types, though.  In this way PA resembles real life, sadly.

Surely the former is explained by the latter.
