I'm sure some of you heard about the Taylor Swift ISIS in Europe threat that resulted in her cancelling a few shows (source). This peaked my interest for a few days and for a few reasons.
1) If these ISIS terrorists got into her concert (lets face it - ISIS probably cant afford that many of her tickets) by using the data from the recent Ticketmaster hack and murdered people, what would the legal response be for our fellow BF friends @Sp1d3rHunters for the leak, or even @MisterE for making an online ticket generating tool? Would "providing material support for a terrorist organization" be on the table? Would possessing the Ticketmaster data be considered a national security concern? Could something like this lead to a new type of a, for example, Rudy Guliani using RICO against the Mob moment? Would we all be considered terrorists? I've spend a few days thinking about this one and don't have any good answers other than that I wouldn't put anything past any government.
2) Would the risk of being killed by terrorists prevent swifties from attending? I would think not.
3) If there was an attack at one of her concerts, would the news use the headline "Extremists Attack Fanatics"? lol
I'm obviously mainly interested in all your thoughts on the first item, but the other two sounded fun nonetheless.
