By lumping hackers in with cyber-terrorists, the government is demonstrating a fundamental inability to understand either group.

is a pretty obvious attempt to overall increase
the penalty for cracking, and does not have anything
to do with terrorism.
Perhaps by worsening the penalty for cracking the
US government is hoping that this will stop crackers
from exploiting its famously weak computer defense.
It baffles me that a computer EVERY computer terrorist
does an amount of damage more than 5,000$ !
It probably took years of research to come up with that
number!
This number is just a figure aimed on stopping your
average kiddie and has nothing to do with terrorism.
And finally, has anyone wondered how fast this bill
came up, and what precise definitions it has?
if you ask me there is someone that knows exactly
what is going on and has been planning on the tragedy
of sept' 11 to introduce this bill. This is probably
the organization that compiled the bill itself.
have a nice day
