"Microsoft is a threat to national security" by jmaxsohmer 2005-02-27 02:38:28
That was going to be the thesis for my English essay, but it turns out most of the Pentagon's computers are not, in fact, running Windows.

So now I'm switching to the very similar "Cyberterrorism is a threat to national security" as my thesis.

Considering that the greatest security feature of the computers that hold the launch codes for ballistic missiles is apparently the fact that the FBI has enough response nodes scattered about the country that they can surround the location from which the intrusion was conducted within fifteen minutes, I think I should be able to make a pretty good case.

Anyone have any other useful tidbits of information for me?
