Those guys who hand out flyers at intersections are going to have to get real inventive! But they can always get a few pointers from South African Hijackers (those guys can jack ANYTHING!)
Of course there is always the possibility that the terrorists will reverse engineer it, and use it to spy on all the Computer the US government went to such great pains to infect...
With Quantum Computing around the corner, no matter what Encryption technique is used, Quantum computers will be able to break it in a few pico- seconds anyway. So encryption will soon be pointless, and there isnt a damn thing anyone can do about it anyway.

I think we can blame M$ for this. Their bloated OS's and SW are taking up more and more space all the time. Hard drives of this size are going to be an absolute necessity if you want to run a Windows machine and have anything more than Windows XP (eXPansive) and Office package.
The US Government has always seemed a bit too autistic for my liking. Their belief that they are untouchable has led to a apathy which is responsible for what has happened in the US over the past day. You cant fight what you dont believe in, and they never believed it could happen to them.
The US has been pissing too many people off for too long, without caring about the consequences. Im not saying that they "got what they deserved" or anything like that. But it seems to me that they could have prevented this by taking the threat of terrorism seriously.
Their attitude to terrorism is a far cry from the attitude to terrorism displayed in other countries such as England where thay have been under constant threat by groups like the IRA for the past couple of years. All I can say is I hope that the US has learned from this and will never allow it to happen again.
