        whats the objective?  ID theft, fiscal mahem - go for the 
        infrastructure stuff (like you say). lowest visable impact
        for very high fiscal return.
        destablize the trust model, perceptions of availability?
        large zombie packs might be your best bet.  
        (we're not in it for the money, we want social change!)
