Am I being paranoid or is someone out to get me?

Well according to some BTP officers thinking, you are a photogher so must therefore be a terrorist, maybe the CIA are thinking along the same lines.

No.

Verizon is a big consumer ISP. This simply means the reader is connected via their DC node, which is in their eastern division.

No more suspicious than ....london.southeast.bigisp.co.uk.

There are sites that can draw you a little map of where the address resolves to physically, and who the IP blongs too if you are really worried - but it's more likely that someone found it funny as passed the link around the office or whatever (so you only see their gateway IP address). If it were Uncle Sam looking for some silo's they've lost, the IP would be fake anyway......

Perhaps the Cliff Richard fan club (Washington Branch) like the photo ?

Perhaps the Apostrophe Protection Society don't like the caption.

Perhaps it just shows that the US national security bods have a sense of humour as well!

You could never accuse them of having a sense of humour, a more po-faced bunch I've never come across. Latin American dictatorships have a better sense of humour.

There's still a Cliff Richard fan club?

I'd heard he'd passed on due to alcohol poisoning.

Always been a mystery to me, if you have a fake IP address how does the response get back to you ?

Does it matter which Black Sabbath track you play - they all sound alike to me, and have never understood any of the words. Especially when live (Leicester De Montfort 197....something).

Just remember, even paranoids have real enemies.

I think they pretty much all start out with something akin to "LUCIFER, DO YOUR DUTY! SLAM MY HEAD AND SHAKE YOUR BOOTY! WHAM! BAM! THANK YOU NELL! WE'RE ALL ABOARD AMTRACK TO HELL!!" and rapidly go downhill from there.

No, don't thank me.

Yes, but are the ones without COMMAn sense?

I doubt they would appreciate the irony in your remark.

Not so much "fake" perhaps, as "stealth". Registered to a different entity that does not cause any suspicion.

Do you mean they dont use domain fbi.org - The rotters
