PSPTerrorists' activities, which lead to the bombing of the Twin Towers and the hostage incidents in Iraq, have been eye openers for every person, especially for authorities to be on the watch against these people who intend to bring havoc, destruction, and fear to others.

Even portable gaming devices are now under authorities' scrutiny as they are now more than just toys. Take for example Sony's PSP. Apparently, for the Washington, D.C. police, PSP, with its wireless and homebrew capabilities, can be a possible terrorist device. A guy playing Tekken on his PSP outside a federal building got the shock of his life after being shook down by the police in Washington, D.C.

Of course, the D.C. police are only doing their job to protect and serve, and the apprehended guy knows this. We're living in a time where almost anything - even a seemingly innocent water bottle - placed in the wrong hands can prove disastrous.

Personally I think this is all getting out of hand. We're already shoeless, thirsty, computerless and unentertained on airplanes now, when will we get upset enough to stop this?

I'm Canadian, the worst we do on an airplane is ask for a second bag of peanuts. My PSP can do a lot of things, but haven't found the homebrew app "Airplane Crasher 1.5" yet.

They used a $2 box cutter the last time, I doubt they really need fancy technology to get the job done.

fooled the media. a hyped mass-hysteria.
your chances to get blown away by a terrorist are less than winning in the lottery.
My god. This *****ry is full of cowards.
And if they're not cowards, they are terrorists themselves - Bombing countries which do not deserve it...

Brainless people...

The world has been in war with terrorism for more than 5 years from now.

U.S. people seem to be frightened, seem to be in terror. Who is really winning this war ?

@12-wtf are you talking about?

"Of course, the D.C. police are only doing their job to protect and serve, and the apprehended guy knows this."? ARE YOU NUTS?! So, the guy who got "arrested" was happy because the police was PROTECTING HIM?! Man, you people are really really insane. You should act like your neighboor, Canada, wich isn't that crazy... You got what you deserved, and if you don't know that, well, I'm sorry. And, I'm not from Iraq or neither I'm a "terrorist", even if the "terrorists" of the world are the americans...

 » Islamophobic

I can't believe comments such as 314 are allowed to be posted in this PSP forum, encouraging hate towards a population of 1 billion on this planet just because a fanatical minority (a minority as small as a coupla hundreds) have hijacked the name of a peaceful religion such as Islam to justify the stupid bombing of civilians in the West. They are indeed terrorsits, but they are brainwashed by sickos who have ulterior motives and enjoy the thrill of destruction. They and are NOT Muslims despite their claims to be and their Islamised names, simply because they do exactly the opposite of what Islam and the Qur'an/Koran instructs them to do. The fault of real Muslims is that they just wallow in their anger instead of correcting their image and teaching the West especially about what Islam is really all about. The fault of the West is that they don't learn from reliable sources about Islam and Muslims but just believe what their media, which is controlled by Bush's neo-con administration, tells them to believe.
This is a time to control hate and violence, not to propagate it.

 » Correction

I was replying to post number 14, not 314, that was a typo. By the way I live in the Middle East and see first hand what is happening. What you see on Fox News and Sky News for example (I got them obviously) is very far from the truth.
And Maia L., you call the 'hostage incidents' in Iraq as terrorist actions. They indeed are, but are done by the abductors for fame and MONEY, yes, they demand ransoms to release the prisoners, despite their claims only in video that this is in response to US forces atrocities in the region.
And answer this question: The US said Iraq had WMDs and was a threat. So they carpet bombed the country, abused Iraqis in prisons, rape and kill the Iraqi civilians currently and steal their oil and aid money. Isn't this REAL TERRORISM? Of an entire country? Killing more of them that 9/11 ever did? (I condemn the 9/11 killing as well).
And most importantly, the WMDs were never found...they never existed. The USA destroyed a nation on a lie. And now because of their mismanagement, Iraq is on the brink of a civil war. Please open your eyes and see what your government is doing, before calling Muslis names and blaming them for your insecurity.

Another proof of the stupidity of the american people.

 » hah, this is old news..

and the guy it happend to aperantly didnt even know his constotutional (no idea if that's spelled correctly, english isn't my main language) rights. (Letting them search his car with no authority to do so..)

And for the record, he was parked outside the federal building at night. Sitting with some device lighting up his face, and as soon as he saw the police aproatching his car (wondering what he was doing) he turned it off and put it away.. ofcourse the police whent all "wtf?"..

 » Y'know...

World Trade Center was brought down by explosives, a plane ca never do it, and what the hell was on the belly of the plane. that wasn't a plane with alot of passengers. In fact, it was a US Air Force Plane, a Cargo plane. It shot a missle into the world trade center just as it went in.

Flight 93 was checked for a bomb in New Orleans at 11:00am, but somehow crashed at 10am in Pensylvania.

No plane hit the pentagon. It was a missile. There is not one video showing footage of a plane. A gas station had footage of a missile entering, but the footage WAS confiscated by the FBI. There was no way a plane of such dimensions can fit into a small hole. Where are all the parts to this "plane" Where is the real damage that a plane somehow took down a huge tower, but makes a 15 foot hole in a later accident? You decide
