Peace.

They don't care about finding terrorists, they just want to put fear into you so you'll go along with their bullshit without protest. The administration is pretty much shitting on the constitution and everyone who fought and died for it. They deserve to be shot.

If you read even the few sentences above, they believe (hope) that they can use the virtual world of gaming to analyze and predict social behavior. They are not looking for terrorists online, they are trying to understand patterns of behavior and think that the very controlled world of the mmo may provide an effective model to study human social and anti-social behavior. By the way read the EULA, you have no rights. If you’re afraid, delete your character, close your account and do something that is much more difficult to model (like hang out with real people,) just before you go send me your money and stuff.

That little document called the Patriot Act really oversteps a lot of the protections of the 4th Amendment, don't they? I suppose probable cause can be interpreted as the government likes nowadays anyway. Ida:
