U.S. Spies Want to Find Terrorists in World of Warcraft
By Ryan Singel February 22, 2008

Be careful who you frag. Having eliminated all terrorism in the real world, the U.S. intelligence community is working to develop software that will detect violent extremists infiltrating World of Warcraft and other massive multiplayer games, according to a data-mining report from the Director of National Intelligence.

The Reynard project will begin by profiling online gaming behavior, then potentially move on to its ultimate goal of "automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world."

This is clearly an efficient use of time, since Osama is clearly spending his days playing an online video game from inside his shitty cave. :rolleyes:

Yeah I know, those guys are way off.

I totally dominated him during search and destroy on Call of Duty 4. He was trying to snipe someone with a dragnov and I knifed him from behind. Then I killed his cronies from calling in an airstrike. It was great.

Well I'm fairly sure I'm fucked, in pretty much every RPG that I play my character is always some type of thief or assassin and I spent my time stealing and killing other random characters while lurking around in dungeons and such.

And I'm sure they'd love my internet habits, I'm constantly looking up the weirdest shit... like how to create "fire rails" and junk involving gun power and minor explosions for my Halloween Haunted House/Yard Haunt.

And on top of THAT I frequent a website that monitors bizarre crime related stores.

If I stop posting, and if I stop showing up to work Mike... you know that the government thinks I'm a terrorist.
