Naw, that kinda thing wouldn't interest the bureau as much as it would the NSA or CIA. And I'd bet my last dollar they WISH their sources were as good as everyone thinks.

You will be happy to know, that while on average we are appreciably poorer than those who frequent britneyspears.com,
we are on average much better educated!

Well, you can do that. Statistically estimating your income based on correlations other variables that are known about you.

You know like, "Salary = 1.5*X1 + .1*x2^2 - 99", with X1 and X2 being some known statistic.

Well constructed estimates when done on a large sample (such as involved here) are probably not half bad estimates.
