U.S. Department of Homeland Security emblem is pictured at the National Cybersecurity & Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) located just outside Washington in Arlington, Virginia September 24, 2010. U.S. national security planners are proposing that the 21st century's critical infrastructure -- power grids, communications, water utilities, financial networks -- be similarly shielded from cyber marauders and other foes. The ramparts would be virtual, their perimeters policed by the Pentagon and backed by digital weapons capable of circling the globe in milliseconds to knock out targets.

Norio Tomine, Japan Airlines' (JAL) flight operations route planning director, points at a map of the Korean Peninsula showing a no-fly zone that would avoid an accident with North Korea's planned long-range rocket launch at JAL's pilot ready room at Haneda Airport in Tokyo April 11, 2012. Japanese airlines have made changes to flight routes in the east of the Philippines, where the North Korean missile's second-stage booster is expected to fall if the rocket is launched, following instructions from Philippine air authorities to close usual routes during North Korea's expected launch period, according to Tomine. The launch of the Unha-3 rocket, which North Korea says will merely put a weather satellite into space, has been condemned by its neighbours and the West as a long-range ballistic missile test.
