Wow, a new attack vector for terrorists. Wreak havoc by setting up terror groups using names that are confusingly similar to important organizations. This way, they could deny a lot of scientists and researchers to travel to the USA and therefore these people would have to develop their innovations in foreign countries that still have common sense like Malaysia and Japan and China and Russia.



So what you are saying is that all it takes to be a terrorist is to choose the right kind of name for your chess club..


> therefore these people would have to develop their innovations in foreign countries that still have common sense like Malaysia and Japan and China and Russia

I don't understand why a terrorist group would want this as a goal.

Also, whether those countries have "common sense" or not is widely disputed. (For what it's worth, I'm a Russian living in America; it would take a severe change in circumstances to convince me that living in Russia is a better bargain than living in America.)
