Thank you. The downvote is amusing given the abundance of evidence in support of my comment. Did the downvoter think I was being sarcastic?

Anyone working for a Congress person might want to heed dreamcompiler's comment and introduce a bill to ban WiFi at all nuclear power plants.

I'd just make the executive staff of any firm that owns an plant like this personally liable for any cyber attack and call it a day.

Yeah no. Execute the managers - that'll fix it! Except its been tried (in history - feudal system etc). It results in management being entirely replaced by risk-taking con men, the only one who'll take the job.

Seems to make sense, but, could you provide examples?

China actually executes managers that make huge mistakes (poison in pet food etc). Does it fix the problem? Has manufacturing in China changed at all?

You would think by now the US would have dumped some millions into developing some proprietary network protocols for the "kill the earth" button they've developed?

Is it so naive to imagine there are tech firms who could/would lobby for a no bid contract to do it?

I'm not an expert but I think there are some interests aligned there. If Trump has enough political capital to push plans forward to overhaul everything, this doesn't seem that far fetched.
