Stephen Colbert Nails a Cyber Terrorist

Tech and Security No Comments

Stephen ColbertFunny… but frustrating because this really happened. Watch the video HERE.

What’s the take-away from this: terrorism has succeeded because we are now so paranoid. As Bruce Schneier says: “Refuse to be terrorized people!” This is so silly considering food poisoning kills 5,000 people A YEAR, compared to the 3,184 that died from terrorism in 2001, which INCLUDES 9/11 (RAND corporation). If you exclude 9/11, most of the yearly numbers hover around 600 in recent years.

We need a memorial and special holiday for food-poisoning victims… but I digress…
