I still can’t find a “kill switch” in the bill.
The bill is about doing something we need, having a coordinated civil response to attack and ensuring our critical infrastructure is protected. Under this, owners of critical infrastructure are required to have plans to deal with emergencies, and the government (CERT) is supposed to help them. If the SHTF, the president can tell those owners to implement their plans. The bill even says the plans must “represent the least disruptive means.”
Disaster planning is something you do in business. Why is it good to have the government getting involved in this? What is the purpose for getting involved in this?
What exactly would they consider to be an emergency? Would the owners not know when the SHTF without a call from the government? Won't that be obvious? Why are we assuming that a central command and control infrastructure is a good thing?
See, I don't trust the government at all. They lie and steal from us all on a daily basis. I don't think they're stupid. I think they have malicious motivations.
