It's really really hard to take the Internet down. The Internet doesn't exist as one place or one thing. It's possible and you will see it in Hollywood blockbusters, that are even on their way into theaters as we record; you will see that concept being talked about . But from where I sit there is no way for terrorism to really take down the internet or utilize it as a tool against us. You can take down specific websites or you can use hacking tools to tap into information stored in websites. So the kind of terrorism that I am afraid of on the internet is some huge global company tapping into a database that I happen to belong to and getting my personal information when I never expected that information to get out. That is the kind of terrorism that I am afraid about. I'm not worried about them planting a bomb next to a Google server and taking out the entire internet. It's just not going to happen that way.
