The U.S. Navy is looking for a few good video game hackers
After all, Bin Laden had a gaming system, therefore they ALL must have gaming systems, right?
That didn't stop the Patriot Act. And we trust them to not abuse this power, because...?
So the Feds aren't going to use this to target American citizens; only terrorists (which is you, me and your dog, apparently), and pedophiles in Ukraine? And what will they do when they find that pedophile? Extradite him to the U.S. for trial and prosecution? I know our government thinks of itself as Captain Planet, but come on!
The U.S. government has hired a white hat hacker collective to dig through used video game systems in an effort to track down bad guys.

Wary of the obvious privacy concerns, the Pentagon says it only plans to use this technology overseas, since it's illegal to do so on American citizens.

Beyond the possibility of terrorists using systems like Xbox Live and Nintendo's 3DS to exchange information about potential targets, the Feds are also looking to hunt down pedophiles, which sometimes use online game systems to find potential victims.
