I have to agree; hackers are not terrorists.
They're a lower form of life.
"Hackers" (or sometimes, "crackers") is the generally-accepted term used to
define those who, for no reason other than to say "I did it", willingly and
with malice aforethought, cause damage to data and property, both private
and public.
"Terrorists" generally have some political or religious motivating force
behind them and usually seek no more recognition than that provided by their
peers or their deity of choice.
I once called myself a "hacker" until the popular media perverted it into
something negative (actually rewrote my Kaypro-4 BIOS to support a real-time
clock and a 10MB Shugart SASI drive). There was once a time when being
called a "hacker" was one of the higher compliments paid by one's peers. No
more.

Are you having problems with hackers and script kiddies wasting your
precious time? Wondering what useful things you can do with your log
files that fill up with port scanners and other more insidious forms of
intrusion?
If this bill passess, you'll really be able to get back at those guys
who are making you miserable.
