Assignment # 1- "Cybersecurity" The Economist
The term "electromagnetic dominance" is not something that immeadiately comes to mind when speaking of security in America (or for any other country). As we continue to push farther and farther ahead into the world of "e-communication, e-governemnt, e-business" though, I suppose that it is a threat we should be taking seriously. Towards the beginning, the article speaks about hackers- easily teenagers and chat room junkies. To think that hacking has now reached a whole new domain:" trying to cripple America's military and communications satellites". No longer are we facing online credit card theft from bored housewifes- now we have to worry about The China's People Liberation Army! I agree with Jill on this subject- this potential new "silent" threat is alot more worrisome than the old fashioned weapons of mass destruction.
