A Freedom of Information Act request got this blogger a look at the Department of Homeland Security's file on his travels. Pretty comprehensive — all the way down to the IP address of the host he used to make a reservation. Wanna see your own? Just ask!"

[businessweek.com] This whole cyberwar thing has been discussed a few times on /., most recently here,[slashdot] where the Chinese are asserted to be using cyberwar to attain military superiority. And, of course, there is the whole Russia-Georgia thing.[slashdot] Even the US military is getting in on the action,[slashdot] and the fear of a cyber Pearl Harbor [fcw.com] seems almost palpable. I'm curious what the /. crowd thinks about the growing fascination with "cyberwar": hype to get more $ and create new force structure, source of the next world war, or somewhere in between?"
