I worked for over five years at the Pentagon. One lesson I
learned early is that there is no scheme you or I or anyone else can
come up with that the bad guys haven't probably already thought of.
It is the duty of people who consider themselves to be good guys
to come up with every single whacked-out idea they can, bring them up
(albeit in the proper channels) and let them be analyzed and
categorized, and if considered to be a serious threat, then obviously
someone will be responsible for doing something to try to at least
detect that type of attack before it occurs or to lessen the
potential effects of such an attack.
