U.S. cyber plan calls for private-sector scans of Net
SAN FRANCISCO, March 21 (Reuters) – The U.S. government is

As a result, more private sector employees than ever before,
including those at big banks, utilities and key transportation

Sitting stonily at the witness table as members of the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security committee waved knives, a golf club and a hockey stick for dramatic emphasis, Transportation Security Administration head John Pistole told a hearing that his decision was made based on threat information and he had no plans to rescind it.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) – As the White House and
congressional lawmakers resume talks on legislation to improve
U.S. defenses against cyber-attacks, Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano on Thursday signaled that disagreements remain
over a House cybersecurity bill, which she called insufficient.

Representatives after President Barack Obama threatened to veto
it, saying the bill did not have adequate safeguards for privacy
and confidentiality, among other things.
