You've been listening to way too much US News and propoganda. Well, the UK is just as bad I must be honest.
They want you to believe that the Internet is at threat from "terrorists" (what they gonna do, spam me?) so that they can force bills through that tighten up on users privacy. Remember that "terrorist" bill they tried to push through straight after 9/11, well welcome to the propoganda that follows. Thank god UK ISPs this week refused to cooperate on the terror bill, which gives the public a bit more time to get their heads around all this and actually think.

You going to call the US sniper a terrorist now? Because that's what he is. Oh no, of course, he's liekly to be an US citizen and he's a white male. Not a terrorst then.

While the term "terrorist" has been overplayed like a U2 album the liklihood of a terror attack on the net is HIGH! The internet is not all about cool pages and people chatting. It is a multi-billion dollar industry in and of itself and the largest portion of that "business" is here in the U.S.
As per the sniper comment, obviously you do not have children. He IS a terrorist!
