Anyone ever filed a request under FOIA for your FBI file?

Sounds like a good way to get something added to your file

What good can possibly come of this? Either there is nothing there, or there is something there. Either way you aren't going to find out everything in the file if there is something there. It will be redacted. And then I would guess (maybe just being paranoid) that you would indeed end up on some sort of list. Maybe not a watch list per se but a list of people who seem to be interested in what we know about them. I would guess that being in such a list would only create problems for you later on if you ever had any further interaction with he FBI.

Go for it and report back. Inquiring minds want to know.

SNL did a skit once where Garrett Morris asked to see his file. The FBI agent told him he had a common name and it would be impossible to know which file was the right one. They were sitting in a badly disorganized office.

Garrett gave a list of reasons the FBI would be interested in him, but kept hearing that whatever he said was too common to be of any use.

He finally gave up and left and the agent called in everything he said.

Don't think you can get a file pulled on an active investigation, might as well get it over with and nuke your hard drives, change your name and move to a no extradition country.
