A friend of mine that recently retired from a major metropolitan police department's cybercrime unit crafted the following paragraph.  You'd have to hear him do it for its full effect, but imagine Jack Nicholson's character, Colonel Jessup, in the movie "A Few Good Men".  You'll get the idea.

"Have you ever served in a cybercrimes unit?  Have you ever suffered a denial-of-service attack?  Have you ever connected your laptop to an unsecured wireless network or ever had to allow some stranger to connect his laptop to your wireless network?  I sit on a firewall 30 hops away from a script kiddy ready to launch a tribal flood against me.  I use words like ping and trace route, while you browse the Internet based on the comfort that I provide for you.  You want me on that firewall; you need me on that firewall.  If I don't analyze computer logs, systems die; that's a fact.  Code Red.  Sure, I caught Code Red.  I caught the Alisa and Klez viruses also.  Call me a geek or a nerd, but I prefer the title of cyber crime detective.  Oh, by the way, I'm not alone; there are many like me."
