Russia deports American citizen accused of having contact with Islamic extremists

"MOSCOW - Russia on Wednesday deported an American woman suspected of having contacts with Islamic extremists, the Federal Security Service said. A duty officer at the service identified the woman as Megan McRee and said she was placed on a flight to Los Angeles. The Russian airline Aeroflot confirmed that a passenger by that name was en route to Los Angeles. Officials at the U.S. Embassy could not immediately be reached for comment. According to the security service, the woman had lived in a neighborhood of Moscow for a long period without registering her visa as required by law. The FSB also said she had made contact via the internet with a number of Islamic extremist organizations and proposed various "scenarios" for terrorist actions in the United States. The duty officer, who declined to give his name, said he had no further details. But the state-run TV Rossiya channel later broadcast a report saying that the woman had attempted to contact al-Qaida and the Islamic Brotherhood. The report did not specify what sort of responses she may have received. The Rossiya report also said the woman had told authorities she had left the United States several years ago because she was being persecuted by the CIA (news - web sites) and that she had lived in Romania before coming to Russia."

So, I saw this article on DrudgeReport and for whatever reason, mostly because I love crazy folks with CIA paranoid delusions, decided to do a search for "Megan McRee" on google. First off, here's her CIA story. I also noticed several postings by her (presumably, the address was a Megan McRee at mail.ru) talking about security vulnerabilities in some Verisign credit card processing software that she used in her web design business. A few more search's and I find she's authored a online personals software package that she sell's, as well as managing herself at "IslamicPersonals.com." which appears to be an Islamic matchmaking service.

Nothing really exciting, but I found it interesting so I thought I'd share
