There are 40 million 'attack capable' systems connected to the Internet 
and over 120 countries have developed or are developing 'attack software'.

[BTW, there will be a BUNCH more attacking systems when 'a new protocol 
is deployed because they are running out of addresses']

Sheesh.

They forgot to mention that there are ~100 milllion 2 ton missiles 
roaming freely throughout the USA.

I guess we'll need a disarmament policy for automobiles now. ;-)
