This reminds me of a story told to me by one of my university profs in networking.

Some friend of his found a flaw in the City of Toronto's (IIRC, big metropolitan centre anyway) traffic light control system. Tried to tell city council and they ignored him, blew him off. So he turned every traffic light red in the city for several minutes. When they came after him? He said "Be thankful I didn't turn them green."
