I respect your opinion, but i would hate to have a new branch of government wasting my tax dollars. If these types of "attacks" can be stopped on the software side, than that be much more effective than government intervention. If they cannot be stopped, than we simply report the abuse to an already existing branch of government. That probably won't help capture the criminal, but neither would a *new* branch of government. > I think if more people got prosecuted for > trying to crack into a site, the level of BS would drop to zero. That reminds me of a threat from the DOJ to prosecute a cracker as a criminal with a possibility of life in prison. When i heard that statement, it sent chills down my back. I think this way of reasoning is flawed. The government uses capital punishment as a deterrent for committing murder, but that has hardly stopped murders. > g.
