UK Woman Charged As Terrorist For Computer Files

Terror Alert Brown writes "Reuters is reporting that a UK woman has been charged as a terrorist because of computer files on her hard drive. According to the article, these files included 'the Al Qaeda Manual, The Terrorists Handbook, The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook, a manual for a Dragunov sniper rifle, and The Firearms and RPG Handbook.' She was picked up in connection with the plot stopped in August to detonate explosives in airplanes flying out of Heathrow airport. Now might be a good time to delete any copies of the Anarchist's Cookbook you once read for amusement and still have floating around on your hard drive."

When

[captnitro]

When the Mujahideen Poisons Handbook is outlawed, only outlaws will have the Mujahideen Poisons Handbook.

RPG Handbook?

Uh, if you'll excuse me, I need to go hide my D&D Player's Handbook. Yeah, it's first edition, but you can't be too careful, I guess.

One more reason...

Not to be playing RPGs (role playing games). RPGs are likely to get you shot by a gun-toting law official who thinks you're Sauron even though you're pretending to be a well-armed hobbit.

It's a trap! At that close range we won't last long against those Star Destroyers.

We're all at risk!

I could be charged with being heterosexual for the pr0n on my hard drive...

Allright, done. Now, should I tag them "todo", "done", "fun", or maybe set it "for" somebody to check the efficiency of foreign law enforcement?

Yeah, what's with that? Everybody knows blow-coffee-through-nose remarks are Interesting, not Insightful.

(for the observer, that is).
