I would tend to agree by and large but to play devils advocate here, how is this different than shutting down all air travel after 9/11? Airlines are private entities who operate over government regulated channels (FAA) and with government regulated security (TSA). The Internet (particularly in the US) runs over government regulated channels (FCC) and last time I checked, final authority of the DNS registration system is managed by the Department of Commerce. Should the government have not been able to shut down air traffic? Is air traffic fundamentally different from the Internet? Personally, I don't like the government having that sort of power period. But I'm curious to see what you think the difference is. Judah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
