This smells like an interesting "event" about to arise.

It was tried before a few years back the the manager of the Royal Bank of Canada who ran their Grand Caymen operation.

He had a flight landing over US territory and, in this instance, there were no charges, - he was simply kidnapped for a period. During this time he was pressured to give up data from RBC Grand Caymen to US officials. He never did and eventually he was released.

David Carruthers is not an idiot, but both a shrewd businessman and an advocate for the online gaming industry.

Interesting because basically what is being claimed... ie that online gaming is an offense in one country - hence there is justification for the arrest of an individual even on a stop-over flight to that country.

By the same reasoning and applying this to the adult industry, any webmaster is open to arrest if he passes thru a country where elements of "adult" are illegal - even tho he has no business interests in that country.

Bottom line - game playing. There are repercussions to game playing.
