Whether the CIA is actually yelling,
"Smithers! Release the skript kiddies!" or
not, the public threat of using crackbabies
against Serbia could make all hackers legitimate military targets.
McLuhan had a quote about this along the lines
of "WWIII will be a geurilla information war
with no differentiation between military and
civilian participants." I'm not sure this
is what he had in mind, but this could expose
the civilian net.geek population to military
action from domestic and foreign threats.
