There are three solutions to the problem;

As the society becomes more and more dependent on the infrastructure
for electronic communication, my suggestion to policy makers has been
that it should be easier to imprison all the government officials of a
contry than knocking out it's infrastrcture.

        Yo, Peter.  You speak of "infrastructure" as if it was a monolithic thing.
        Why would you think that some localized NoCal fiber cuts would be taking out
        the whole countrys infrastructure?
