Probably not, but there will be a huge scare now, and guess what happens when Americans get scared? Here are our rights, just keep us safe

Unfortunately yes it is.

And for very good reasons.

I agree about not giving away our rights ever.

However the reality is we can't keep up with the hackers and Congress is doing little to try and protect our country.

Corporations don't want to share information about leaks because it would be informing competitors about breaches, and also are worried about their public reputations.

There are potential hacking events that could make 9/11 look insignificant in the grand scheme of recent American history.
