Terror Bill Limits Gambling, Too
By Declan McCullagh (<a href="mailto:declan@wired.com?Subject=Re:%20(ai)%20House%20panel%20bravely%20thwarts%20terrorists-%20by%20banning%20Net-gambling%2526In-Reply-To=%2526lt;B7EC749C.18781%25rforno@infowarrior.org">declan@wired.com</a>)

WASHINGTON -- Osama bin Laden is not, according to news reports, a
terribly big fan of Western vices.

Nor has there been any reliable confirmation that last month's
suicide-hijackers, who completed the bloodiest terrorist attack in
American history, were habitual gamblers.

But that didn't stop the House Financial Services committee from
voting 62-1 on Thursday for an "anti-terrorism" bill that limits
Internet gambling.

In the words of Rep. Marge Roukema (R-New Jersey): "We've heard
testimony from the FBI, the Department of Justice, and law enforcement
that there is a clean nexus, a connection, between Internet gambling
and money laundering of terrorism activities."

The measure has been dubbed the "Financial Anti-Terrorism Act" (PDF),
and it prohibits financial institutions from accepting credit cards,
electronic transfers and checks used in online gambling. Another part
of the 121-page bill gives the Customs Service more power to inspect
packages sent through the mail.
