PayPal and Osama Bin Laden

[daemonbot]

Hey I just wanted to do a poll, a survey of wht you guys think.

Given the complaints I see everywhere about PayPal I think it would be a GREAT medium for Osama Bin Laden to use to transfer money for his Al Quida terrorist organization. Am I going off the deep end here or is that a real possibility? This thought just occurred to me today and no this ain't a joke. It's a real question.

I guess even trolls get extra time off for the holidays.

Only for the people, not for Bin Laden nor the cells in the U.S.

Not because they're greedy bastards, because it would cost so much to find out if the money is illegal (part of which would be passed on to you, the consumer) that it would drive them out of business...
