Round up that information and shut the gate
A George Mason University graduate student's geomapping dissertation that analyzes infrastructure weaknesses in the United States is a threat to national security, says Richard Clarke, who was George Bush's cybersecurity pointman. "Classify my dissertation? Crap. Does this mean I have to redo my PhD?" the grad student said. "They're worried about national security. I'm worried about getting my degree."
Don't classify, publicize, so that business and government have to address the weaknesses. Open source systems are debugged faster than proprietary ones.
