From 4:22 onwards, John Wood makes the futility of it all sound so poetic. Comforting even.

@Arlo003 either you are breaking peoples balls or you have the intelligence of a boiled potato.

@Arlo003...Actually for that era of computers, it may of been that easy to get into a government computer. Programmers really use back doors and back then the systems ran with low baud dial up modem 10 digit phone number access. Today's systems have different access and tons of closed loops. The government computers are not accessible like that any more. Our government's systems today are much safer from hackers and virus attack. Although, the banks today are still vulnerable.

¿You need to see threes burning or jets crossing the sky to believe it is real, isn't?
