Mikulski keeps calling "identity theft" war. This is a crime, it is not an act of war!
They're talking about their battle against cyber-crime as war - which is a reasonable statement to make. It's just the same as when governments and new agencies talk about the "war on drugs" etc.

#33Oh, this is awesome: Keith Alexander explaining how what we really should do is let the NSA have a database that stores absolutely everything, and then they promise only to search through it when it is "reasonable."
Note: this is not saying what they did was legal.

#35The word "cyber" has been applied to every noun, and I've apparently been out of the loop on terms like "techno-boondoggle".
This is just a little terrifying.

Here's something I've been thinking about, let me know your thoughts: I'm thinking of the nuclear bomb analog. Other people have nukes, so we need nukes, and we have to trust the government not to turn nukes against us. Is it possible this is a similar example...and what we really should be doing is having oversight on the analogous launch codes...etc? Note: this is not saying what they did was legal.

Then they probably would use something softer.

Exactly, that is what scares me!
