The problem is that until the current FBI Director, the leadership was computer hostile. We are now in a national crisis and the FBI is not exactly computer literate.
We computer literate people should be giving seminars to our local FBI offices to let them know what is going on and what the Internet is capable of.
I posted to FBI web site and to Secret Service web site detailed step by step instructions how a body can get weapons of mass destruction onto any commercial airliner in the USA, through the current system of Airport Insecurity, and also mentioned that I had received 15 communications from the Nigerian Scam in the last month, 3 of them from the identical return e-mail address, and should I be sharing this stuff with any law enforcement place or could y"all care less. I figure that they treated my post much like some form of Science Fiction.
I am not going to tell anyone else, outside the law enforcement community, precisely what that hole is in Airport Insecurity that Weapons of Mass Destruction can walk through. I will let the bad guys figure that out for themselves, and hope that in the meantime it dawns on someone that our leadership needs a crash course in computer literacy.
Wardrivers nothing new, just new name. People have been able to intercept Cellular phone calls, all kinds of consumer electronics for quite some time. When I got my first portable phone, I could hear taxi cab dispatching over it. I read somewhere on www.AirDisaster.com (sorry I forget which thread) that people have used radios in Britain to listen in on Air Traffic Control broadcasts to aircraft, then try to join in the conversation.
