WoW Terrorists, Watch Your Backs!

Well shits guys, they've figured us out: US spies have decided World of Warcraft (along with other MMO's of course) is ridden with terrorists, and are working to be able to detect "suspisious behavoir and actions in the virual world" and take approprate action.
Thanks for the warning Yahoo!, I'll be sure to keep my terrorist activism on the down low while they've got their spies in my game... although I doubt the frequency of T-Bagging Alliance will subside much.
Perhaps someone should inform them of John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.

P.S. I'm not a terrorist
I like my country
and fish.

I mean, LOLCIALOL, but other than that, what?
I guess I'm really more curious as to why in the world (of warcraft?) they would think terrorists reside in MMO[RPGs] in such high numbers that Congress would agree to the investigation of online gaming profiles in order to detect terrorism?
But even if they dedicate the time and effort to sifting through WoW chatlogs for incrimination info, it won't amount to much, other than:
1) Terrorist leader using the alias "Chuck Norriz" is planning something big, and we can't stop him.
2) Legolass is trying to get "his dude" to "stop by later with a fat sack of [Ghost Mushroom]s"
This is being done instead of stuff the CIA probably should be doing, like figuring out where that Bin Laden guy is. Though, from what I've heard the CIA is so messed up and confused that it couldn't really find its own asshole, therefore some guy gets 10 million dollars to do this because otherwise they wouldn't be doing anything that could be pointed to as an accomplishment.
Of course, this could be an excuse to have all those people at Langley just sit around and play WOW instead of just sit around and wait for work to do.
Judging by how dirty it was, they were probably heading to an Al-Qaeda lan party.
The other question I have, is when would terrorists have the time to level a character and engage in their bad-man-plans?
-"Hey man, so when are we getting underway with 9/11/2008? Its been a while..."
-"Oh well we were planning on-- ah, crap I just agroed half of Nagrand! Come heal me."
They'll never figure it out.
This is clearly the advent of fascism.
That's ingenious!
Agent: Staging a raid on a terrorist boss, sir!
Boss: Good, keep up the good work!

Already a thread on this in G&T.
Also, posters managed to work in this by page 4.
Government organizations have this little credo: "Protect the budget."
That means you spend as much as you can every single year to make sure you never get a smaller budget.
So they probably have the best graphics cards available and also vibrating chairs that speak gentle phrases of encouragement.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
HAHAHAHAHA!
Or whichever the most horrible of furry MUDs is still around.
Tapestries: OF TERROR
Dun dun duuuuun.
Next step, whisky-affecittiano sites?
Seriously, you're looking for logic? I applaud you, but it's a fool's errand.
One unexpected consequence of the WOW plan: Manrik's wife will be declared as the CIA's most wanted person.

I think I see a flaw in this spectacular idea. Let's assume they can tap Ventrilo, all chat & communication, and then sift it with any degree of efficiency. They find suspicious chats! Cue court case:
DA - The accused were recorded plotting terrorist atrocities!
Accused1: K, u use the C4 & claymores to take out president's limo, I'll cover with LAW from the book depository.
Accused2: Rgr
Judge - What online game was this?
Defence - Er, Ghost Recon 4...
Seriously. I'd love to see the software they design to flag god only knows what as keywords, phrases, or subjects. I mean, we are talking about sifting through game conversations that deal with mass death and destruction b/c it's part of the game. So... back to what Monkey said:
hahahahahahahahahaah, fucking good fucking luck.
"This is where I say something profound and you bow, so lets just skip to your part."
If they do get into WoW, would it be illegal to raid their in game guild meetings? Obstruction of justice, assaulting a government agent, heh
I'm calling it now.
Some people in the U.S. government play WoW (and other MMO's) and had the glorious idea that it'd be awesome to get paid to play.
"Hey Bob, you free tonight for dinner?"
"Sorry Dave, we're raiding Black Tem... I mean, I'm putting in some overtime to hunt for dirty, dirty terrorists."
Also; having the clout to hunt down and have the asshole rogue that stole your herb/ganked you beaten or killed .
Edit: having read more of the first page, I see that I wasn't the only one to come up with this idea.
That said, with people able to do/say/act/be whatever, whenever, however they want, how would they be able to differentiate suspicious behavior from some douchebag that likes general chat a little too much?
