Some jokes are being made in the thread how you can extricate yourself from surveillance by the FBI by asking not to be watched, but seriously, what is this list?
The article mentions that he "has stated he does not desire to be interviewed at any time by FBI Agents relative to matters of any kind". Why would the FBI reach out to him in the first place? I don't know about mr. Feynman but I don't regularly get contacted by the Dutch FBI (which is what anyway, the KLPD? I don't even know) for interviews, unless I did something wrong or when they think I know something to help further an investigation. I can hardly imagine anyone (let alone mr. Feynman) witnessing crimes (especially ones that warrant FBI investigation rather than a local police office's) that it was becoming a real burden for him to keep giving interviews.
