Tell me exactly how any scenario of a "cyber 9-11" would entail
anything on the scale of a loss of 3,000 lives. Hyperbole does not
serve our industry well.

THE US is unprepared for a major hostile attack against vital computer
networks, government and industry officials said after a two-day
"cyberwar" simulation.
"There isn't a response or a game plan," said senior vice president
Mark Gerencser of the Booz Allen Hamilton consulting service, which
ran the simulation.
"There isn't really anybody in charge," he told reporters afterward.

I seem to recall reading similar headlines to this ~2 years ago?

Tell me one non-3rd world country that IS ready for a 'cyber 9/11'.
