Jeez. You'd figure by now people would realize that making something illegal in America makes people want to do it.
Look at what happened with prohabition. Look at the lack of drug use with teens. Look at underage drinking. Look at underage smoking. Look at the Kavorkian mercy killings.
As a culture Americans seems to love doingt he taboo. Of course the advent of script kiddies makes an interesting case that these kids aren't hacking or cracking... just "point and 'hack'". No real talent, no understanding. Just a program they downloaded with a simple readme file.
No arcane knowledge of how computers work. Just a program they downlaoded and tricked someone into installing.Most of these revolve around well known and documented flaws, gaps, and big freakin' holes... But ones l-users are not advised on being existant or even how to fix.
I think the Feds would be better off passing regulations on security requirements for the networks - rather than coloring books on the evils of hacking. lets the Feds be the Chicken-slaughter house inspectors of the Internet and spend their time hacking into networks and fining the sysadmins for "insecure" networks.
Jeez! If pube-boy kids can crash the Boston phone system, I can imagine what determined "hackers" from Libya could do to our national security. . Why don't the Feds protect us by making the networks secure rather hassling teens that can bypass the security of a major city's teleco and cause such national security concerns that the SS gets called in.

I believe the official Star Wars site is planning to use this as part of their deathstar Web site. Now you can smell what Chewbacca smelt!
