"The Department of Defense is considering banning all JavaScript and
other mobile
code from military Web sites because the tools could pose a security
risk to its
computer systems.

JavaScript and Microsoft's (Nasdaq:MSFT) ActiveX have been flagged
because
hackers are increasingly breaking into DOD systems, and department
officials fear that mobile code is serving as an easy gateway for them
to enter military networks, sources said. The tools are widely used by
Web site developers to add animation and interactivity to Web pages."
