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."

Nice to know our tax dollars are hard at work.

There going to plant a spy in IF by the mailbox and that person to watch all conversations. Honestly, if you were a terrorist who decided for whatever the reason to speak over WoW wouldn't you just use whisper? Or maybe make your own guild for it? I can see it now. Two terrorist leveling up and talking about their plans to blow up a world wonder using yell chat...

Surprised they didn't choose Counter-Strike or something. Because you know, you can play as a terrorist...

***... so if I love to piss people off and be obsessively violent in the virtual world but I'm a normal person I'm gonna be labeled a potential terrorist? Am I the only one that sees this as paranoia and a lot overboard?

Oh yeah, terrorists take their time to play WoW. While playing WoW they discuss their plans which gets delayed each time because they want to level up!
