Having done vulnerability assessments for a long time,
one of the biggest issues I run up against is admins
who refer to users as "lusers".  Funny joke, yeah, but
a lack of discretion points to an underlying attitude,
which can be a real problem.

FBI.org?  That points to the BBC.  Why are you afraid
of them?
