Who was Odysseus – Langley or tel Aviv? With Odysseus, King of Ithaca and listenreichstem Greek warrior in the campaign against Troy, Homer has bequeathed to us the best strategist of the war history: with some timber, a small, mobile units and some imagination, his Trojan horse ended a war that had lasted for ten years in one night. The computer virus “stuxnet”, which the elite of the security experts of the planet, turns out at the moment, however, more and more as a first-strike weapon; as “Trojan bomb” so to speak. Who works for Odysseus?

Langley or Tel Aviv? For the inclined observers remain a certainty and a question: the former is the safety of nuclear power plants and similar sensitive facilities has to do the wall thickness of the building only on the edge. The second, however,: Is located at Langley or Tel Aviv Ithaca? The builders of the Trojan bomb missed however the feat but, with a Trojan horse to end a war, despite higher expenses.
