Last night we were watching an NCIS Hawai'i show on CBS. This is a crime solving show, happens in Hawaii, have beautiful backgrounds. Storylines and acting a little lame but when there is nothing better at the 10 o'clock hour we watch it.
My issue with this episode is, that it practically is a tutorial for hackers, saboteurs. The storyline was about hackers that "hijacked" the power system (water and electricity) on the island of Oahu. The show gave a step by step description how they did it, where did they fail. To me it sounded like a manual for saboteurs.
I am surprised and also bothered that networks do not think to practice some kind of moral censorship. In today's world such a show is more than just disturbing, it is frightening. I guess networks only look at the mighty dollar and not the possible effect this type of show might have.
They already showed how to commit murder and not getting caught, now they showed how to hack anything they wish to. If I were such a bad person, all I would need to do is watch tv and learn.
What does exactly national security mean?
