    Experts: Websites Could Kill People!

    Popular Mechanics invited top computer security experts to analyze the realism of upcoming techno-thriller Untraceable. Their verdict? The FBI scenes are realistic! The killing scenes less realistic. The bit where the killer takes control of Joan Allen's Diane Lane [Cannot even begin to explain that one -Ed] windshield wipers and speaks to her through her OnStar console is just dumb. The bit with the dangerous website run by a sociopath, registered in a foreign country, built around increasing traffic at any cost to the determent of its many varied innocent victims? Ludicrous!
