The trouble is that this email (and other communications) will be read automatically (ref: Echelon etc.). Bureaucrats will process any emails like "...bought DOJ on Nasdaq, made a bomb!..." and send SWAT teams to trash your house, lock you up without recourse to habeas corpus and flag you as a 'suspect' which will leak out to all airlines, credit card companies and prospective employers.

If this sounds far fetched, see how identity theft has utterly ruined people's lives and how FBI records were sent to airlines post 9/11 who continued to act on them long after they should have been binned.
