An article about the redraft of the controversial Rockefeller-Snowe Cybersecurity bill which if you're unaware of would give the White house and the President the power to disconnect private-sectors from the Internet if they declare a cybersecurity emergency.

Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.

i find the whole idea scary, the Internet is a world wide network, what gives the U.S. or any country the right to control it? and laws like these give a leader power they aren't likely to give up. and forcing a security pro to go for a certifcation, that most likely won't relate to the field but just a way to keep us under their thumb is scary as well
