Webcomics as a Terroristic Activity

This posting by Gary Tyrell reveals an incredible-sounding and I guess still-developing story that webcartoonist Matt Boyd was visited by the police due to making a webcomic about being fired due to some unhealthy post-Virginia Tech paranoia regarding his talking about his hobby of target shooting. It's indicative of our times that this kind of thing used to take a practical joke element to get going; now our system has absorbed and integrated the absurdity of such practical jokes right into daily operations.
