people are afraid of things they don't understand and, let's face it, the folks in power don't really grok computers in general. it's like the video games==columbine scenario. when i was a kid i played with toy guns. they were made of metal and looked like real guns (no red-tipped barrels in my childhood!). they went bang when i pulled the trigger. i pointed them at people i went to school with. this is a healthier playing habit than doom or quake?
sigh.
