"Joseph Boy, owner of Sol Games, said that not everyone spares the children. "There are LAN parties in Tampa, other cities in Florida, where it's all porn and drugs. I've seen kids swapping porn, a guy getting a blow job in the middle of an auditorium from a girl he just met, people coming in the back doors without paying and leaving with a couple of disks. I don't want people to think of that when they think of gaming. We take security very seriously."
Man, I am clearly going to the wrong LAN parties.

How come I've never been invited to that kind of LAN party. Damn!

QuakeCons in the past have been frequent sites of marijuana purchases. Not sure how it's been the last two years.
It's not entirely shocking to think that out of a lot of mostly teens and young adults getting together to play games that some drug or alcohol abuse isn't going on at some point. It's about as frequent as any other young social gathering where rebellion is the norm rather than the exception.
