What if you air-gap the SCADA network of which you are in administrative control, and then there's a failure on it, and the people responsible for troubleshooting it can't do it remotely (because of the air gap), so the trouble continues for an extra hour while they drive to the office, and that extra hour of failure causes someone to die. Should that result in a homicide charge?
If you designed a life-critical airgapped network that didn't have a trained warm body at the NOC 24/7 with an airgapped management console, and hot (or at least warm) spares for both console and console monkey, yes, you *do* deserve that negligent homicide charge.
