Default Are you a terrorist?

Check your name against US no-fly lists here: http://nofly.s3.com/

Does your name come up red, or via modern technology, can it detect your true name variant and see that you really are an Al Queda operative? It has alrighted highlighted such dodgy characters as George Bush, Tony Blair and Jack Allin (aka Jose Al-Hami)

Yes, my name is on the list........ good thing I don't like to fly.

*said jokingly* I knew that naughty behavior would get me into trouble one day

Nope, nothing for me. And I'm probably the closest person to a terrorist around these parts...

Close, but no cigar.

I guess we old-fashioned Irish Terrorists aren't much trouble these days.

Just a thought: they could be farming inquiries. I'm not plugging my name into that.

I thought of that too so I just used my first and last name, which I share with my Dad, my Grandfather, and two cousins (We all have different middle names).

Old fashioned terrorists would have gone for maximum body count, so I don't think the IRA really qualifies as such.

Are you kidding? For all you know, there could be a JDL member here. It's not very likely, but...

Actually, some people here do sound at least a bit sympathetic to eco-terrorism.

I got five matches for first name and three for last name, including my actual name in both.

I reckon it must be my game purchases that have put them on to me. Just to take a random sample.
Dungeon Keeper - likes undermining (literally) good governments and killing/torturing their leaders.

Police Quest Collection - The SWAT section comes with a set of sniper tables. As useful for assassination as for the police.

Command and Conquer - Good grief! I even like having the chance of BEING a terrorist organisation (Brotherhood of Nod) Extra suspicious because I have the Worldwide Warfare set (with all the expansion missions for 1 & 2)
And that's not counting all the games that just involve shooting people and blowing stuff up, albeit, usually as a "good" guy. (Renegade, Gunman Chronicles, etc) No wonder they don't feel safe with me around.

Command & Conquer Renegade? Well, my name isn't on that list, probably because I couldn't get through that last wretched temple level.

That reminds me of the time I wound up on a DEA list for buying some products from a catalog that could be used for hydroponic gardening of marijuana. I hope they staked out my house and tapped my phone and PC, the agents would have gotten comp pay for boring.

The temple level? That's easy.

Step 1. Turn down the difficulty level (did I mention I'm kind of a wussy terrorist? )
