ARLINGTON, Va. -- An offer for free tickets to theme parks for servicemembers turned out to be an e-mail scam, which turned out to be a security exercise run by the Army.

I'd love to see the results!

I disagree with the gloss that article puts on it. If I had been doing it, MWR would have been part of the test. The timing and content of their warning message and the effect it had on subsequent site hits would be good data that could not have been collected or would have been compromised if they had known in advance.

This should be done more often.
