Good point on the technology gap. I believe there's a tendency that the other countries are catching up. U.S. need greater efforts to stay ahead.

On the other issue, >>The most widely used firewall in the US Federal Government is Israeli code.<<

Hmmm... Israel is here to protect US confidential data! What if they want to take a peek?

Other reports already point out that Israel has had a potential wiretap on every phone in America for years, along with the ability to monitor and record who any person is calling, anywhere in America.

Hmmmm. I'll try to remember to ask if they want fries with their orders. I don't think it has gotten quite that bad yet.

As my son heads off to Princeton for his math degree which of those three jobs should he be shooting for? Wouldn't want to waste his 1600 SAT scores on anything else. :o)
