    I'm one of many server administrators for LUTX, the (US) Federal Government IT "swat team" that was put in place during the Clinton Administration. One day I was working on a code-blue 456 system using the X-K-Red-27 technique and suddenly a bunch of drunken Canadian's broke in and try to SSH the HTTPS server. Well, as you can imagine, all hell broke loose and we had to double-slot the uranium deuteride fast on the flip-flop before the Russkies could notice.
    I hope I don't get fired for sharing this amazing story with Slashdot
