“We have top men working on that right now.”
“Who?”
“Top...Men.”
Imagine what they could have done with all the $$ wasted on ‘green energy’ & failed governmental business investments...
Fortunately, now that the Obamacare website is fixed, they can redeploy all those brilliant engineers who developed and fixed it and reassign them to the task of preserving the security of the power grid.
That’s a line from Caddy Shack!
Silly....that $$ is strictly for lining the pockets of DC deal makers, not for safeguarding us plebs who pay for all of it!
Not from Caddy Shack, but Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I was thinking of this line from the Scottish Groundskeeper, referring to killing all the go[l]phers:
“I’ll put my best man on it!”
Just theorizing here:
If somebody happened to take out the grid that feeds Vegas, would the feds shift the focus away from rustling cattle and deal with the ensuing chaos?
/theory
Probably the same ones who were working on the Ark of the Covenant.
Maj. Eaton: We have top men working on it now.
Indiana: Who?
Maj. Eaton: Top... men.
NAHHHH! First things first!
Hey, you armed BLM marshals and swat teams. Forget about the power grid vulnerabilities open to our enemies and terrorists. Our priorities are to get those beef cattle off of their range land in Nevada so they don’t imperil the endangered tortoises out there or interfere with Harry Reid’s solar energy scheme with the Chicoms.
First things first, doncha’ know?
Might wanna give securing the southern border some thought......
This is so unnecessary ...
I work in telecom [as a consultant]. I always advise my clients that they should not put command and control functions of their equipment on to the Internet.
My clients can put alarm functions on the Internet that notify them when something is wrong. They then have to go to alternate modes of communication in order to control the equipment.
The alternate modes of communication? Either a dedicated T1 line or a dial-back modem [with username/password authentication].
Simple, secure, and relatively cheap - just the cost of doing business.
They not only shouldn’t put it on the internet. They shouldn’t have it on computers that are connected to the internet. It should be a closed system.

Too little and too late. These federal bureaucrats couldn’t pour water out of a boot. Their skills at fighting terrorism are so good that if they provided security for the the Sahara Desert, in five years the Sahara would have a shortage of sand. Incompetent does not begin to describe these oafs with attitudes.
Barry is scrambling to inform the muzzies what those holes are.
