There are certain items that I believe are 'tagged' for data storage. 
I'd bet if you bought knives, shovels, guns, rope, duct tape, etc. you 
would end up in some FBI database somewhere.  Adhesives can be almost 
like a fingerprint...  I doubt the FBI cares what brand of oatmeal you 
are eating, but I'd bet that they have a file on you that shows your 
average BiLo grocery costs(are you hoarding) your average electricity 
bill(are you growing pot), your average water bill, etc.

The minutiae of your life is stored in separate databases...DISH network 
may log your viewing habits in some local database, but that database 
can probably be tapped at will by the FBI or CIA or NSA etc.  It's the 
same with your ISP, your power company, etc.

Just my opinion..
