Just in case any of you don't read slashdot:

"Law enforcement officials said four DS-3 cards were reported missing from
a Manhattan co-location facility owned by Verizon Communications Inc. The
theft at 240 E. 38th St. occurred just after 10:30 p.m. on Sunday and is
being investigated by New York City Police and members of the joint
terrorism task force, according to NYPD spokesman Lt. Brian Burke. "

One must wonder why the headline is "Network Card Theft Causes Internet
Outage" instead of "Carrier Sercurity Negligence Causes Internet Outage".
