More cybersecurity scare tactics from top U.S. intelligence official

"Intelligence Official Cites Threat of Cyberattacks on U.S."

http://j.mp/10J2Fkv  (New York Times)

   "The nation's top intelligence official warned Congress on Tuesday that
    a cyberattack could cripple America's infrastructure and economy and
    suggested that such attacks pose the most dangerous immediate threat
    to the United States, more pressing than an attack by global terrorist
    networks."

Please keep in mind what's really going on here.  This is all about
money and power for the "cyberscare-industrial complex."  Anyone who
seriously thinks a "cyberattack" as currently practicable is more
serious than a terrorist nuke or dirty bomb going off in a city is
living in Beltway Fantasyland.
