another network?

A very effective way of keeping information from the public would be to have a private network. Special internet only for gov't agency use. This way they could avoid hackers and viruses.

Thats already been done. The agencies uses secure networks.

I sus pected they did. i just didn't know for sure. How do u know that?

Great idea! Welcome to...20 years ago!

The ONLY way to avoid a hack or virus, is to have a closed system.
A lot of Goverment computers are run by sneaker network--walk the disk to another workstation--
But since the DOD developed the Internet (NOT created CERN, did that) I am sure they have several closed Intranets
