I'm surprised that no one has made a Skynet reference yet, perhaps because such a reference would be trite and predictable. I'm feeling trite and predictable this morning, so allow me to be the first. Homeland Security is planning to launch Skynet. I hope you guys have your nuclear bunkers stocked with Ensure. We on this list might be all that's left after Judgement Day.

If it's going to "literally" shot down an attack like an AA weapon, are they planning on physically launching projectiles at compromised machines across the world and destroying them?

Bill, they're probably planning on physically launching explosive projectiles at compromised users.
