It's good to see that Presidential candidate John McCain has noticed the security of the United States is hinging on electronic security.

In today's world we must start with cyber security and work out from there.

Our infrastructure is totally dependent on electronic databases which not only run our country but guard our major utilities without which we would be decimated.

McCain speech yesterday to over two thousand Sheriffs & Deputy Sheriffs called for far more Federal investment in Cyber Security.

The transcripts from his speech are as follows...

"Law enforcement professionals know best what they need in the field.

And today, what's often needed most are more personnel and better technologies for tracking criminals, gathering data, and sharing vital information.

We need to make certain that every agency is working with others where necessary, so that the miscommunications and missed opportunities before 9/11 are never repeated.

To protect our energy supply, air and rail transport, banking and financial services, we need to invest far more in the federal task of cyber security.

In this new century, and especially with the threat of terrorist attacks, every state, local, and federal agency concerned with public safety should have access a shared repository of information.

In the case of any suspected terrorist, we must make certain that law enforcement knows who they are, where they are, and what they're up to."
