Undersea cables are a weak spot in internet connectivity worldwide and with all the recent undersea outages taking place around the world, we need to be concerned that in the US and Canada that these cables are unprotected.

This is yet another area we need to be focused on to ensure that terrorism does not bring down global communications/commerce.
