That's the root of the problem, they don't know how to quake (i.e. move
fast). The US (I can't speak for UK systems) does little and leaves
their systems nearly wide open, then they spend lots of time and money
trying to prosecute simpletons *after the fact*.  Meanwhile, instead of
spending the same time and money on securing US systems, some events
will surely go by undetected.  I guess the US strategy is to hopefully
scare off the Iranians, the Russians, and the Chinese by prosecuting a
British wannabe (no offense intended Gary).
