I would agree with the CRC bit but you are assuming they are scanning websites.
What if they are scanning traffic?
usenet and HTTP. - They may well have the power if what they say about their history is true.
That way they can filter out a lot of stuff they aren't interested in, and if they do have a map of all the 'bad' sites then they could log all traffic to and from those sites.
Allowing for a certain amount of hype it sounds viable.
They don't need to, all they need to do is map the traffic. If no one looks at your site then they won't know about it, if someone from the UK has then they might.
It's easy to tell if data is encrypted, which makes it easy for robots to at least track the data.
if the data is hidden rather than encrypted then it's much harder, if not impossible for a robot to pick up.
Have a quick think as to why this might be problem.........
