I can't recall seeing any of these guys giving a press conference on
the newly reconstructed side of the Pentagon or on the site where the
World Trade Center used to stand.  Don't we care enough about
cyber-terrorism to warn the folks who suffered physical terrorism?

Somebody needs to go to NYC and say "we took more than a billion from
your physical counter-terrorism fund so we can afford to protect
cyberspace and send people to computer security courses."  If we tell
New Yorkers about the threat of ping packets, I'm sure they'll
understand.  Who knows?  They might even divert some money from the
WTC memorial fund to help us protect PCs...
