Student Arrested for “Suspected Terrorist Activity”

A Chinese student has been arrested in Texas, charged with “Suspected Terrorist Activity”. This student was apprehended after parents discovered that he had used plans of his High School in the creation of a map for an online first person shooter. The authorities were notified after parents learned of the map from their children, who had downloaded it off of the internet.

“They arrested him,” Chen said of FBISD police, “and also went to the house to search.” The Lin family consented to the search, and a hammer was found in the boy’s room, which he used to fix his bed, because it wasn’t in good shape, Chen said. He indicated police seized the hammer as a potential weapon.

While no charges have been filed against the student, he has been removed from Clements High School and will not be allowed to graduate with his former classmates.

Completely ridiculous. Everyone who has designed levels must have at one point thought about modeling the school. I know I have, and if I'd had the patience and time I certainly would have.

Ridiculous.... I've had the idea! It has been done many times before in Holland (and in the USA).
