What needs to change is first and foremost that 911 shouldn't have it's mission-critical systems connected to the Internet. What were they thinking?

There's a reason military and some commercial (e.g. nuclear reactors) control centers use dedicated lines.

The Internet is not a safe place. That is the initial wrong assumption all these people make, and as we all know from our logic classes, if your initial assumption is wrong, anything after that is just so much bullshitting.
