"Pull the plug" usually refers only to
the electricity supply, that is, the
power plug. It's an old word.
As things go wireless and virtual,
there are no plugs to pull. :)
And if you watch Mission Impossible
and James Bond, spies can infiltrate
infrastructure companies and implant
spy gadgets that could take over
the control rooms. I dunno whether
it's fact or fiction.
