This GMU grad student thought his work was boring till he began to 'advice government officials and company CEOs'. His PhD dissertation work consists of a map of the American business and industrial world. Seems harmless till you realize that his work actually maps every communication network across America! So , he can 'click on a bank in Manhattan and see who has communication lines running into it and where.He can zoom in on Baltimore and find the choke point for trucking warehouses. He can drill into a cable trench between Kansas and Colorado and determine how to create the most havoc with a hedge.clipper.'!
There are those who feel that stuff with so much potential should not be published at all. The irony is that Sean Gorman got his entire data from publicly available material on the Internet!
