Add Mike McConnell to your list of Democrats because he was one of the ones to suggest this.

"10) According to the National Journal, Mike McConnell, the former Director of National Intelligence, told President Bush in May 2007 that if the 9/11 attackers had chosen computers instead of airplanes as their weapons and had waged a massive assault on a U.S. bank, the economic consequences would have been ‘an order of magnitude greater’ than those cased by the physical attack on the World Trade Center. Mike McConnell has subsequently referred to cybersecurity as the ‘soft underbelly of this country.’."

The problem is that it flies in the face of legislation like HIPAA. There the government demands that privacy of information requires strong defensive measures against invasion by outsiders. Now the government will be the invader? This is a nonsense kind of law and will get a lot of people very upset. This law is not about protection but invasion by the government. Wron plan if in relation to 9/11.

Just imagine what they can do with health records if the Feds nationalize health care!-

Yes, the same type of insurance Fidel Castro has, the type where if one requires a Gastro-Intestinal operation, one must contact a CAPITALIST country to obtain a Specialist to perform the operation. Yeah, GREAT idea, DenCuddy!

"Couldn't 9/11 have been avoided with better security?"
We fixed the problem of the Clinton created firewalls between the intelligence agencies and created the Patriot Act to defend the country by providing better security. The result is no successful attacks to date. But just listen to liberals rant that incoming calls from al Qaeda phones might be bugged. Horrors of horrors some one living here might be bugged. Trampling their rights etc. etc. etc. Listen to the idea that our right are being trampled in other ways."
