Ted Yoho's National Security Views are from the 20th Centruy

Like most of the technically challenged people ruining our nation, large animal veterinarian and Florida GOP representative Ted Yoho believes the biggest security threat facing our nation is our debt and protecting our borders.

Yoho's technical expertise, like 95% of those who keep getting elected, dates back 50 years, when high-technology was a color television.

The biggest threat face America is not our border security or our national debt. It is not terrorists capturing a nuclear bomb, a chemical bomb, or crashing planes into buildings. While these issues cause local disruption and destruction, they are not national issues. A chemical or nuclear bomb detonated in NY would cause massive local death and destruction, but what physical effects will occur in Ohio, Colorado, or California?

The biggest security threat facing our nation is a Cyber Attack.

Relatively speaking, the attacks and hacks we have experienced are little more than an annoyance. If you think that your experience with identity theft, a computer virus or having to wait a couple hours to read your email was a major attack, it wasn't. It was nothing more than a pinprick. For prospective on my view, I consider 911 to be nothing more than a bloody nose, and look what happened to our country!

If we continue to elect people who live in a 20th century world, a massive and well organized cyber attack will have the same effect on our nation as the destruction caused by the isolated bombing of Pearl Harbor.

As an engineer, I love bombs, boats, planes and missiles. They are impressive for physical attacks and destruction, but well-designed and placed computer viruses will render these billion dollar machines useless.
