U.S. Government to spy on the World of Warcraft servers

Okay, it’s official people, the gov’ment intends on infiltrating our MMORPG’s. Starting with WoW, 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’.”
I don’t know about you guys, but just because I may act like an a**hole online doesn’t mean you have to automatically assume I’m a terrorist. It’s scary what their ultimate goal might mean to online games. I don’t want to have to feel like my every move is being watched and judged by the long arm of the law. And to “automatically” assume anything, seems to be what the government is good at now-a-days.
Also, where the hell did they get that cheesy screenshot?

Asura I am Cokomon's girlfriend and fellow tenant here in their rental house. I enjoy music, video games, environmental studies, world religion studies and various other home studying like masseuse training. I guess you could call me the "hippie" of the group if you must... but I don't like the stereotype.
