Subject: [SC-L] Homeland security Request


Does anyone really think they will do anything or is this aother part of
the 
propaganda pitch?

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is requesting tips about flaws
in the nation's technological infrastructure, and a new law guarantees
that the information will be protected from public disclosure. The
Protect Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) Program allows
companies to alert the federal government about security-sensitive flaws
in its products without fear that the information will get into the
hands of hackers, customers, or competitors

Below is the ZDNet link about this article but like all sites make sure
you 
have a spyware blocker on or at least a filter.
