n. The blanket that someone in front of a webcam uses to create a professional environment and hide clutter from the bedroom or office from which they are filming/speaking. Named for the blankets which terrorist organizations sometimes use (or would use if they were smart) in order to release recorded statements without revealing their location.
I feel kind of weird giving my analysis of the State of the Union address with my closet in the background, so I'm gonna set up an al-Qaeda blanket, and I'll look like I'm in that super-professional anti-space where all the car commercials happen.
