He forgot to mention the main theme, xenophobia. Horrible movie!

Healthnet of California WIN
http://www.darkreading.com/database-security/167901020/security/attacks-breaches/229301155/health-net-breach-exposes-1-9-million-records.html
In 1999 I worked for a tiny, non-profit entity in Watertown, MA called healthnet.org. They had a time share on a low-earth-orbit, commercial satellite and used it to relay email via "packet radio" to ground stations in Africa. It was the most effective way to provide email service to places Africa where there was no dial-up Internet service.
Healthnet of Watertown had registered healthnet.org in 1995 iirc and were minding their own business when they were sued by HealthNet of California, which is a health insurance company. Healthnet of CA claimed that we were "diluting their brand," and wanted to take the healthnet.org domain away from us. They failed. The Californian bullies lost their case in part because Healthnet of Watertown had a connection to a Harvard Law School prof. Anyway, Healthnet of CA is reaping the wages of sin now. What dirtbags.

Hunting with Frisbees
What a concept. I can throw a frisbee pretty far and with great accuracy so the next logical step is to use it as a weapon against defenseless animals. I'm thinking ducks and geese would be the easiest targets. Hitting them on the wing would earn you extra points. Squirrels might also be a possibility. Throwing into a large flock of starlings might be a good way to persuade them to leave.
Weaponized frisbees would be made of aluminum or titanium, or at least be reinforced with such metals. Is there a DARPA program for these?
This idea really captures my contradictory nature.
