Forwarded from: Rob Rosenberger Cc: Steve Manzuik >>Lets take your lunacy a step further. >> >>This is stupid and is security through obscurity. Steve, you should focus your "stupid/lunacy" complaints on senator Charles Schumer (D-NY). He fears U.Calgary will turn into a "digital training ground for future cyber-terrorists." You can listen to him (in context!) at http://Vmyths.com/mm/humor/psa/schumer.mp3 if you don't believe me. Schumer's audio comes from a February 2002 senate hearing where White House flunky Richard Clarke reserved the right to NUKE China if they invade the U.S. with a computer virus. I agree wholeheartedly with you, Steve. From my follow-up column: http://Vmyths.com/rant.cfm?id=599&page=4 "I'll extract my tongue from my own cheek so we can clear the air... You'll find a big difference between me and people like senator Schumer. He'll mean it if he declares Canada a cyber-threat. He'll want you to fear the wrath of Calgary's student body. He'll demand FBI background checks for computer science teachers & students."
