...it's easier to know how to break into a system/box/whatever, than it is to learn exactly what happened and take measures to prevent it.
Sure, some items are fairly obvious, but I'm willing to wager that there are a lot of exploits that even dedicated security officials aren't aware of, simply because the exploit was found and put to use, but never reported.
As it applies to 9/11, I'm fairly certain that OBL and his boys are more willing to shell out the cash for the folks who can find undiscovered vulns

I'm doubting that it would be the folks who've been caught cheating, but I've been wrong before. It sounds like the Nevada Gaming Commission regulates gaming employees. http://gaming.nv.gov/ [nv.gov]

Oh, I wasn't denying that Vegas (at least at one time) had a mob presence.:) I just meant that the Gaming Commission apparently excluded the two-bit operators who'd been caught cheating (which I thought might correspond to the script kiddies).
