Officials are thought to be concerned that the programmable torches might be hacked."
The Chinese government originally green-lighted the electronic Olympic Torch project a year ago. But as with any electronics system, the programmable torch could be hacked. Duhh. Imagine the risk for the Chinese officials if any "wrong" messages showed up during a high-profile Opening Ceremony this Friday. Wathc out."
