Someone could bring a ship piled high with suitcase nuke bombs into the country while the guys at the ports who are supposed to look out for that kind of stuff are playing that there 'online pokaah' on their laptops. No problems.

I think they should ban all state lotteries because a terrorist could by a lottery ticke for $1, win a couple million and then use those millions to fund terrorist activities and buy bombs. So, state lottteries are in fact supporting terrorism, we need to ban them now, Mr. Frist.

Nothing -- anything the govn't doesn't like they label it or associate it with terrorism.

I played against a guy on Party named, "POKERJIHADONYOU" - he was obviously a terrorist.

I would guess that certain politicians would attempt to make a connection to incite fear so that he could convince people he was their savior trying to do good for them.

are there politicians trying to bridge a connection? I haven't heard anything about this, could someone provide a link or something if this has any merit?

From what I have read someone in Congress was complaining that the IG was attached, but other bills like transportation were not.

And one of the replies was that the money from gambling supports terrorism, and therefore is more pertinent to the port bill than the others.

That is a grossly butchered summary, but you get the idea...
