FBI agents arrested a Louisiana man last week for allegedly tricking a handful of MSN TV users into running a malicious e-mail attachment that reprogrammed their set-top boxes to dial 9-1-1 emergency response.

Messing with the 911 system certainly could be considered cyberterrorism...

The American society is completely blind for the real problems and is kept busy thinking on the "sacred" Land Terrorist Acts. Wake up!!! All that counts in this case is to justify a bill that was voted awhile ago so called "PATRIOT ACT" <== blah! Lets have a little of "Critical Thinking" guys!!! Do not let the big box (TV) brainwash your heads!!! It is a perfect campaign motif using a wonderful combination (Microsoft + 911 + US Government + FBI). And, once again, the US government is wiring the message: ?You can not survive without MY laws and MY blessings!?
Can you guess how many calls 911 receive daily erratically? It is around of 5,000 daily. Did you know that?
So, 11 calls to the "sacred" number is not a fair reason to charge or jail someone, nor label the silly guy as a "cyber terrorist"...... C'mon people........ WAKE UP, FOR GOD'S SAKE!
