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."

Yes we need our tax money spent on monitoring video games for Osama Bin Laden and his ilk...

Osama bin Laden would most likely be a troll. He'd also be an engineer.

Indeed, they're going to start keeping track of everyone who has the engineering profession, because it teaches them how to make bombs...

Then they'll get PETA involved too, because they also make exploding sheep....

LOL, off the top of my head I can think of two daily bombing runs. Are they gonna start monitoring everyone level 70 with a flying mount now too?
