My own people Jerry Hayes and Will Kern are both quoted in this.

It is all good advice. I just see it contributing to the FUD factor.

FUD while once exclusively a geek term has now hit the mainstream media especially in reguards to politics and the terrorism campaigns.  Just about anytime scare mongering is used you can use FUD. Sometimes seen as F.U.D..
