[Ernie the Attorney]  QUOTE

Read this CNN article.  I'm glad that the government is not going to

  1. collect money to use for enhancing security (that would just increase the likelihood of preciptious action), nor
  2. restrict the use of wireless networks (which apparently was a brainstorm of the Bush administration's main computer guru). 

UNQUOTE [Ernie the Attorney]

The article identifies government plans based on some government officials not knowing all the facts about what is possible with computer security.  It sure sounds like the current administration decided not to get any kind of briefing from prior administration efforts with computer security, so they would make a whole set of new mistakes, without learning from the mistakes or discoveries of the folks who went before.    Homeland Cyber Security is too important to be left to a panel of special interests.  I sure hope there is more going on than the media is sharing.
