Information Whorefare

So I was just reading WIRED magazine’s online article, and found this:

http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,41658,00.html which talks about the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s jittery nerves in their effort, working with the United States special forces, to capture the big mofo bin Laden and his cronies…

Basically, it is suspected that some al queda operatives are using the internet to communicate messages with each other and plot how to destroy the USA… screw them… anyway, it is now apparent that Yahoo! and Google must do something about their group software because it could soon become a time when terrorists could do just about anything to the internet and no government could do P*A*R*C right (that’s reversed, in case you wnated to know…), so why should we bother with governments? I have always been saying, long before I started this blog, that we need to mobilize the MASSES, the PEOPLE, of the good USA to fight terrorism. OK, so here is my plan:

The best weapons against terrorism is economics. Supply and demand can do far more than nuclear bombs or kamikaze jetliners can… if bin Laden reads this, so be it… the laws of supply and demand are over powerful…

Say this: bin Laden wants to use Yahoo! groups to plot his next terror attack. Well, then someone should promptly check that group, read where they want to attack, what plane they will take, what route they will use, and ask to be affiliates of the airlines company they will utilize. Telling teh government is a good thing too, heh… but the person, (or even better, airline CEO) should promptly sell tickets for those routes at much higher prices, cutting demand back. Then they should sell more of those tickets to federal agents, making it more possible for the terrorists to be caught. The demand just shifted left, the supply can only stay stable, so the price goes down. But then, when the Feds buy more of that trip, vacation or not, the supply goes back and the demand goes right, causing prices to shoot up. Provided the terrorists are rational shoppers, meaning they will not want to pay for more thean their budget, they will postpone their attacks, hopefully until the government catches those little dogs…

Well, I’m losing bludshed, maybe you get my idea… if you want to discuss this, please leave a message below or contact me at nzhang2@oakland.edu for more info, thank you!
