Re: CIA Fears UmpTeen InfoNukes

You should believe it. Take it seriously. Your elected Congressperns do. In a nice twist, the threat of darkside hackers has emerged as one of the best arguments for Sen. Burns' Pro-CODE legislation. At today's hearing, it was clear that we needed the legislation to encrypt the net-infrastructure and prevent it from being ripped apart by terrorists. Security through strong crypto, I say, and paint Janet Reno as a friend of and apologist for those evil hackers. -Declan
When I saw this article in the paper early this morning (like 1am) on nando.net, I just couldn't beleave it....
When did hackers become a threat? I thought that hackers were a national resource!
It sounds like these gov folks are concerned about how much hackers know how things work... which is probably more than they do. Didn't hackers build the Internet? :)
I just blew the article off as noise. I just can't waist energy on such rubbish.
