[BITList] no imuunity

  I agree, the delivery system I referred to is how the cyber attack 
would be delivered, as you point out one only has to bring some pretty 
mundane things to a standstill to cause  chaos and to harden all these 
systems in a developed country is an imposable task and to keep current 
even more imposable, so like the nuclear deterrent it boils down to a 
stand-off. stuxnet is relativity easy to fix really as all one has to do 
is wipe the code and reload with the original Siemens code once the 
problem was discovered always assuming that it wasn't Siemens who 
embedded the code in the first place
