I understand what you are saying. Perhaps comparing session hijacking to terrorism is a little too harsh when it is put like that. It is still the closest word I can think of which describes what one does if they run Idiocy: threaten other people's online confidence and make them more frightened, and hence more cautious in the future. Only time will tell if Firesheep and Idiocracy are the 9/11 of the online world, leading to more HTTPS (compared to the way real world terrorism resulted in more airport security protocols). Although it might seem harsh there are a lot of similarities.
