Hackers come out to play?

If the government ever decides to enact control over the Internet and declare martial law, a hacker will be almost as valuable as weaponry.

Who else is going to be able to VPN tunnel through 'secure' networks and communicate with compatriates to coordinate counter-offensives? Who else will be able to hack into networks and see OPORDS and other paramilitary planning and logistics?

IMO, we must have hackers, and we should recruit who we can, pay them accordingly, and use their talents to protect our assets and deny our enemies theirs.

*this statement comes from someone who tries to reconstruct what a hacker has done on a particular network*

ultimately what are you trying to say?
that the buzzword hacker is going to be used to round up people?

under the pretence of martial law?
