Washington State Eyes Poker Ban

I appears that the state of Washington is looking at banning online gaming in all it's forms in the coming days. Just when you thought it was safe to wade back into the online ocean.... With the recent disfavour the federal proposals received it was a shock to hear that this bill in Washington state is facing very little opposition.

I don't think the Washington Represenative have really thought this through however. To charge anyone living in Washington State with Online Gambling offenses they would have to know that you were gambling online. The only way to do this is to monitor your online activities and your financial transactions.
Does this mean that anyone living in Washington State can expect to live in an atmosphere of constant monitoring, where all your online and finacial activites
are cataloged and searched on a regular basis?

Hopefully someone will see the light and stop this madness before it gets a chance to take root.

That's all, I fold.
