All in a day's work

According to recent BBC reports, five teenage hackers successfuly penetrated computer networks at the United State's Sandia and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. The quintet of offenders were all between the ages of 15 and 17, which sure made me feel like an underachiever--albeit a relatively law-abiding one. Although certainly disturbing, incidents such as this one seem to have become the order of the day. But do you think any presidential candidates will start taking a stand for "the war on hacking"? Neither do I.
