Somehow I doubt that any computer that can be used to launch nuclear missiles is anything other than 100% self-contained. Why hook it up to the internet?Joe1897 said:

Cyber-9/11? So a digital plane crashing into a digital building? or a digital excuse to take away the Constitution and start a never ending war the exists only to exist so arms sales skyrocket and American businesses can steal foreign natural resources?
Allowing this bill to pass will be like letting all news come through Fox News (which might as well be called Faux News). The only truth is the truth of those in power (which normally isn't the real truth).

So let me give you an analogy, giving the US government the ability to turn off the internet in the case of cyber-terrorism is like giving Al Queda a nuclear warhead to cut their grass, THEY'RE GOING TO ABUSE THE PRIVILEGE!!!
The internet originated to send important information in case other forms of communication were disabled due to a Soviet nuclear attack.
Any one else see the irony in this.

it shouldnt happen but if its gonna happen it sure as hell shouldnt be one specific country that has control over it
The UN would probably be a better way to control it
i mean US goes to invade somewhere kills the net in there country suddenly the other country starts having issues

I don't think this would get passed... Simply because of how it would affect foreign nations...
Holy. cyber. shit.
I didn't think america could get any stupider.
I was wrong.
This is so, so retarded. even for the u.s.

For the love of god I hope this doesn't pass, or else I might buy in to this Illuminati business
Clearly he is working with the Fourth Echelon and the Secretary of Spy things to aid them in detonating the hi-yield lo-altitude dirty emp nuclear terrorist bomb in the presidents internet.
So apparently because we put everything on the intertubes that makes it insta targets for cyber-hooligans? Aren't really really important government things kept on not part of all the internet servers with a 36 layer 7 terrabyte encryption key that encrypts the 79 layer 500 terrabyte encryption key protecting the data? I'm sure things like that are kept on back up things that are surgically implanted in wolverine and delete system 32 when they get tampered with.
Or I have no idea what I'm talking about and it'll be just as easy as waltzing into a federal office and stealing papers from there.

Okay, Senators, putting Cyber in front of pre-existing words doesn't make them anymore threatening or impressive. Stop using it as a prefix so damn much.
Let's stop Cyber 9/11 with Cyber Armageddon. That's a brilliant idea, yes. They can't steal our ideas if we send every person in the US back to the 1950s.
This and the other topic about cracking down in unrealistic ways on people who even search for Torrents are reasons to despise the current government. At least, if you're a nerd.

I live in England and to be honest if the americans shut off the internet the government would flip, we're a small country but we can kick a lot of arse politically if we need to this would not happen outside of america as russia, n.k, china and a fair few others would be none too pleased either and would show their displeasure in a far less courteous way than we would if it was world wide. Still isn't this a form of censorship though which is unconstitutional in the u.s?
