Wow, that's not a bad idea. Kind of creepy though, like a secret society...

Those initial kill switch rumors were not overblown. I'm far more comfortable with this than the U.S. legislation, which was horrific because it was written so vaguely.

And if ONE of the keys is destroyed...?

If you read the original article you'll see that only five are needed. So, if one gets destroyed, they make a replacement and in the mean time, if the key is needed, five of the other keys are used.

Oh, I missed that.

Well, what happens if 3 are destroyed AFTER the internet dies?

So true. My first reaction to the US plan was a flashback to that scene from WarGames. "Turn your key, sir!"

THE INTERWEBZZ IZ UNDER ATTACZ!

While I think it's a good idea...I don't really see anyone going after the internet on a large scale. Telephone systems and public transit, yeah, but not the internet. Just doesn't make sense if telephone/cell phone systems are still in place.

Sounds like the last season of Prison Break.
