Codebreaker for M16 murdered after undergoing TSA Search! Codebreaker for M16 murdered after visiting legal prostitution state!

Seriously, this is (yet another) bit of irresponsible journalism headlines (titulars = British?) from Wired. They're trying hard to be "the finger on the pulse of the wild west world of cyberspace." facepalm.wav

To be fair, it was Ck2 who added the word "murdered" not Wired.
and check it out... Wired has changed the headline... Just like the Guardian did two weeks ago on that "let herself be gang-raped" headline. [1][2] It's now "Codebreaker found in bag attended US security conference before death".

AND as a matter of fact, I just went back to triple-check the Guardian article and guess what? They changed it AGAIN. They replaced the word "molested" with "endured sexual assault."

Are they A/B testing? What is going on?! (wake up sheeple...)
