The research suggests that small accidents in these systems create immense social disturbance because they signal catastrophic potential. This psychological framework is used by governments to manufacture crises, such as cyber terrorism or Y2K, to drive policy.

The transfer was flagged and rejected by the "wire department" for "suspected terrorist activity" because of the Dutch word "overbooking" (meaning transfer) in the memo. He notes that several Dutch banks are simultaneously claiming to be under cyber attack, which he suspects is a cover for systemic issues.

Dvorak discusses his PC Magazine column regarding the improbability of "mud hut" terrorists in Waziristan launching sophisticated cyber attacks.

Over 60 million text messages were sent in a single day, leading to a mass exodus of people from Bangalore and other cities.

They deconstruct the narrative linking al-Awlaki to the 9/11 hijackers of Flight 77 and various "homegrown" terror plots. They argue the media is casting al-Awlaki as a "mastermind" to justify the drone program.

He announced increased investment in national cyber security and warned of threats from homegrown terrorists and anarchists across Europe. The hosts interpret this as a move toward a total lockdown of free speech and increased surveillance in the EU.

They compare this potential move to the recent digital television transition, viewing it as a way for the government to increase control over private communications.
