This is great, now they can use your Ip address or your smartphone to get your coordinates, fly the drone at 75,000 feet and you'll never know what hit you. Sounds like a wonderful idea!!!!

Maybe someone can hack congresses Ip address so the trigger happy bastards bomb themselves.

Does anyone remember the sci-fi show Seaquest from back in the 1990s? One episode detailed how one American "cyber warrior" was so frustrated by his Chinese counterpart that he hunted him down and killed him. Oh yeah, and in the pilot episode of Seaquest, the lead character got a ticket from a license plate scanning camera along with a cell phone call into his motorcycle helmet that a large sum had been deducted from his social security account. Funny how fiction becomes reality isn't it?

The problem with hacking is that legislation that has been around for over 20 years provides federal crimes for loosely defined terms such as unauthorized access to a computer. Accidentally log into someones email account after they didnt log off when they have federal government security clearance (two in my family do)? Look at source file of a website because you want to emulate their design for your own site? Load a website with information not meant to be public? You've overqualified yourself for incineration in a rain of hellfire missiles. Of course the official version will say you used social engineering and cross-site javascript attacks to gain access to confidential mission-critical government data that put soldiers' and clandestine operatives' lives in danger in an effort to strengthen Al Qaeda's terror network, your criminal motive fueled by years of indoctrination by numerous anti-US government campaigns.
