As hard as I try, I can't seem to wrap my mind around "social
engineering attacks." Are these attacks from friendly
engineers? Attacks that are intended to have a friendly
outcome? Attempts by the Colorado legislature to denigrate a
minority population through offensive legislation? (maybe HB
1356) -- that would be interesting. But somehow a control panel
is involved. Sign me up!
