Roll the NBC Dateline footage of the exploding pickup truck again...

There's a world of difference between a "see, it could happen" video and
something we actually need to worry about.

(Personally, I'm about 350 times more worried about utility failures caused
by worms accidentally propagating onto a SCADA net than I am about intentional
attacks, if for no other reason than there's a lot more probing bots out there
than there are actual cyberterrorists.  But that's just me.)
