Maybe this should be kept secret.

So the National Post has an article today about a guy, who in case of a terrorist attack on the internet, has one of 7 internet keys that would put the web back online.
Now think about the article in this way.
Security officials are mildly scared that terrorists might put the internet offline, thus they put in a safeguard by giving these security keys to 7 people.
Now imagine that their is a terrorist group sophisticated enough to carry out the attack on said servers that control the internet.
This terrorist group would then also presumably be sophisticated enough to google maps where this guy lives, and the 6 other people they mention by name as having the security keys to the internet!
So ya, maybe this should have been kept under wraps a little more.
