If your power infrastructure is constructed such that people can be killed and maimed from the Internet, you're a cataclysm waiting to happen, terrorists or not. Get your SCADA systems off the Internet, for Pete's sake, or at least make sure their traffic is encrypted with a decent key size. "Cyberterrorism" feeds on stupidity; stop laying out the buffet and you'll be a lot safer. RGF Robert G.
