    E-Terrorism - Safety: Assessing the Infrastructure Risk. Although it is
    possible for electronic intrusions to damage infrastructure and threaten
    physical danger, taking control of those systems from the outside is
    extremely difficult, requires a great deal of specialized knowledge and must
    overcome non-computerized fail-safe measures. As a result, government and
    corporate security experts-while careful not to dismiss the gravity of the
    issue-point to this indisputable fact: It is still easier to bomb a target
    than to hack a computer. Source:
