CyberTerrorism - Reality or FUD?

Random Utinni writes "The director of the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit (part of Homeland Security) claims that terrorist hackers are poised to create total chaos. He predicts all sorts of scenarios, from changing the formulae for medications to causing cars to explode after a few weeks of driving. Is this guy fearmongering for an increased budget, or is he on to something here?"

Big Brother will be able to protect us better with full visibility into our email and IMing patterns, JUST LIKE they've saved so MANY of our military's lives by intercepting our phone traffic - FUD!!!

What happened to "Give me liberty, or give me death!"?

We've forgotten how strong we truly are, under a very careful campaign designed to keep us afraid and convinced we're powerless to act in any direction whatsoever, a massive misdirection of american attention so that they can steal what they're convincing us we don't have while we drool in front of idiot-boxes.

Sorry, Karl, ol' buddy, the *hard* opiates hadn't been refined when you were alive - satellite TV and Internet-connected PCs, THAT'S the ticket...

(I'm remembering the old Carlin routine about how the truly hip used to answer their phones "Fuck Hoover! Hello...")

Re:TERRORISM IS FUD PERIOD

Its too late, get freaking over it. Yes, a lot of us lost someone close to us in that attack, but when does it stop?

When do people quit using their names and our memories of them to excuse taking our rights and freedoms away. America is being raped by its own leaders.

And you are just as guilty as our President for spreading your idiotic rhetoric.
