#1 Given that high school hackers can get into major corporate and government computers, and that professional computer people can build and run the kinds of systems that keep the internet and electric grid and phone system etc. (mostly) running, and that there are certainly people smarter than these working on things we don't know about, I have to believe our virtual terrorists run some serious risks when they surf the terrorsphere. One would hope somebody in authority recognizes what a great opportunity exists to infiltrate the terrorsphere, inderdict its users, and especially plant all sorts of digital 'bombs' and 'flawed' instructions. They just have to keep the New York Times from finding out about it. If our own government can't or won't do it, perhaps there are still a few clever Israelis out there with some free time.
