[governance] Bill would give president power to disconnect private networks

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

All,

See: http://fcw.com/articles/2009/08/28/cybersecurity-bill-presidential-power.aspx?s=hls_010909

  Seems to me this is a direct matter of governance.  I would suggest to all of you
that you weigh in on this possible/likely legislation irregardless of your national
origin as other countries are likely to follow this lead if this bill becomes law.

Regards,

depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
