...We only need security systems because of crooks and traitors.

You don't think nations spy on one another?...

But I don't think that it is Nations who are responsible for the majority of malicious viruses that bugger up our home computers.

ANY hacker who is caught should be made to pay restitution for the damage that their crime has caused.

...US security systems are far more advanced than their British counterparts.

Seems to me this one had some pretty basic flaws...

When I worked for BAC in England, anyone could just walk into the site and get access to drawings of any of the missiles, all you had to do was go in when everyone was going to work and nod at the guards as though you belonged there.

I bet you couldn't do that at the Pentagon, and you certainly can't do it at any of the military installations here in Colorado Springs.

Again ...Seems to me this one had some pretty basic flaws....

Any system can be broken into. I won't tell you the tricks that our Computer science teacher taught us because there are too many people here who think that hackers are some kind of Saints.

...The US justice system is far more respective of the rights of the accused than is the British.

I wish I shared your confidence...

They can't even pull you over in traffic here without a valid reason, which certainly wasn't the case in England when I was there.
