No, but you are sure to set a flag at NSA monitoring stations.

Watch the documentary "Ice Man" about Richard Klukinski.

I doubt we'd be that lucky.

Answer 4

Not just for searching.  Curiosity is not a crime unless you're invading someone's privacy.  Lots of people research bad things.  It depends on what you seek.  If you were to actually put an ad out for a hit man or actively seek one out in some way, that would be illegal.  Now, you could be flagged as a person of interest, but they may just do a quick search without your knowledge and see there's nothing there.

Answer 5

Everything you want to know about hit men, hiring them, paying for their services, etc can be found at the Clinton Foundation web site.

As to getting arrested for simply searching something - if you live in mainland China, Iran, North Korea or California - you should be worried since all those places have strict mind control.  If you live somewhere else - don't worry.
