I have it on good authority that they prefer America's Army. ;D


Seriously though, so fucking what? Put a few spooks listening in on the game servers & you are good to go.

A "serious" terrorist is going to be using encrypted VOIP tunnled thru another innocuous protocol. Good luck listening in on that.

I think the security types just want to play online games.


It's a FOX story - therefore suspect.

Sure, terrorists could play video games to 'train'.
And they probably jog as well, in case the plan fails and they need to flee.
And they read; after all, they need to know how to make bombs.
I'm sure they coordinate attacks with cell phones now and then as well.

Ban it all?

Why do people think taking away the trappings will stop the criminal action?

Atheism is a non-prophet organisation. - A dusty old book that I found that must be completely true because someone wrote it down.

Oh dear. Obviously, the US should stop making weapons lest they fall into the hands of terrorists. Tiger

We just need to give up all our rights & freedoms so Uncle government can keep us warm & safe inside a nice toasty security blankie. We won't be able to do anything, but at least we'll be safe from them damn terrorists! Think of the children!
