MS Flight simulator purchaser = Terrorist

[pne]

From the Register, via scribot_feed: woman inquires about purchasing Microsoft Flight Simulator for her son and gets visited by state troopers when the store employee finds out that it's a ten-year-old who wants to learn to fly.

The mind boggles.

That is just quality! Gotta love Americans and their propensity for going completely over the top with everything ever.

Hey, whoa there! Don't blame all of us!

I'm totally boggling at Shortly before Christmas, the FBI issued a terror alert to beware of drivers with maps, or reference books. WTF? If you're lost, you're a terrorist? Who's bright idea was that?

Ok, not fair to tar all of you with the same brush... "Gotta love The American Authorities and their propensity for going completely over the top with everything ever."

So, a boy buying a computer game is a terrorist?!

That's almost as bad as some of the airport security incidents.
