Bill Allows Feds to Take Over Private Networks During Cyber Attacks

Cyber attack why don't they focus on an Iran Nuke attack?

Another disaster in the making with this bill!

Sounds to me like we have a lot of people commenting on a bill they haven't read yet.
Tsk. Tsk.

It would be interesting if we had a major cyber attack happen right now.
I wonder how many of you would be singing a different tune when you realize after the system is completely screwed from the attack. How many would be crying about the government not doing enough to protect them?
You know, kind of relates to how everyone blames Obama for the private sector oil spill. Less government, then a disaster happens, then everyone cries wondering why the government isn't doing enough. You people can't have it both ways.

Technically speaking who determines what is a "critical system" and how is it protected by having the gov't seize control of the entire Internet? The bill presumes that the Gov't can protect critical systems if it controls the entire net? That I got to see. The current Internet design is wide open to security attacks of all types. They can't protect critical systems without putting them on a different net designed from the outset for security. This bill makes no sense except from a political standpoint of controlling content for political purposes at the whim of the president.

This is a first step toward controlling free speech, or as Obama's crowd would say, "redistibuting" it"

Why not design a different Internet for so called critical systems that is more secure?

Obama wants control of the Internet for fund raising purposes. For this bill to work the ability to seize control must also require the consent of a Fed judge similar to that required when wire tapping.

What was it Rahm Emmanuel said about letting no crisis going to waste? Sounds like another government takeover to me. Crap, why not, look at all of the other takeovers this past year and a half; what's one more of our precious liberties being absconded by the government who is all knowing. We're like sheep being led to the slaughter.

Hope the government will be better prepared for this eventuality than it was with offshore drilling.

Big brother marches on.....Orwell.......how right you were
