I know the US is somewhat different (well, a little different and getting less by the day!) than the UK but don't you still have to actually *break the law* to get arrested there?Local authorities acted immediately after they received a phone call from a concerned parent whose child had been playing a game that "involved killing" and took place in a virtual representation of the school."I can see it now... 'My son's been watching Tom & Jerry.. all that violence. I want Mr Disney arrested at once!'.
Don't do that. They'll arrest your son and confiscate his TV as a potential terror weapon. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
