cnn.com - Homeland Security seeks cyber counterattack system (Einstein 3.0)

I'm surprised that no one has made a Skynet reference yet, perhaps because
such a reference would be trite and predictable.  I'm feeling trite and
predictable this morning, so allow me to be the first.  Homeland Security is
planning to launch Skynet.  I hope you guys have your nuclear bunkers
stocked with Ensure.  We on this list might be all that's left after
Judgement Day.

Bill, they're probably planning on physically launching explosive
projectiles at compromised users.
