There are three solutions to the problem;
A: Put a armed soldier every 150ft on the fiber path.
B: Make the infrstructure so redundant that cutting things
just makes you tired, but nothing hapens.
C: Do nothing.
As the society becomes more and more dependent on the infrastructure
for electronic communication, my suggestion to policy makers has been
that it should be easier to imprison all the government officials of a
contry than knocking out it's infrastrcture.
