Get my FBI file

Has anyone seen getmyfbifile.com? They create a letter for you to send to the FBI (and/or a number of other government agencies) to have your file sent to you. I've never been in trouble with the law, but I'd like to know if for some reason, I have an FBI, CIA, etc. file. Who knows? Maybe they made one for me because of things I've said on The Shroomery and other sites? Maybe I signed a petition that drew some red flag? Maybe they put me on some list because I wrote Charles Manson and Squeaky Fromme a letter when I was younger? Maybe they took a picture of me at an anti-war protest and matched my face to my name? I have no idea what they're up to and it would be interesting to know.
Has anyone ever requested their file from a government agency? How long does it take to receive it? Here's what the letter basically looks like.

Is this like a request for a backround check?
I wish I knew about this earlier.
I have expunged charges that dont show on police backround checks but might show on FBI backround checks. I wish I knew if they were going to show or not.
I am processing for the Navy and I have expunged charges. My Lawyer said I never had to tell anyone about them. So I didnt tell the Navy.

Also what I was thinking. That would suck if the mere request for your file causes them to create one. "Wonder why this guy thinks he has an FBI file? Maybe we should watch him."

My guess is that there are plenty of provisions in the FOIA that would exempt them from giving you information if they were so inclined.
Imagine if someone was really being set up and/or followed under intense scrutiny. Do you really think they say: "Oh well, since we got this form letter we're gonna have to tell this person we've been following them for years now"...

Yeah, that sounds right. But I know they don't have any investigation on me. But who knows, they could have made some notes about me.

This will warrant unnecessary attention.
Talk about self-aggrandizing.

first off, the FBI can barely wipe its own ass. it has no extra resources to track down random hippies posting on mushroom websites.
second, shouldn't this be in the conspiracy theory forum?

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

This actually is something I'd be really interested in, if it weren't for the fact that even contacting the FBI probably means they start a file on you
