Obama Declares Hacking a 'National Emergency'

Someone should make a chart of all the bogeymen the USG has and show how they compete with each other. With regard to fear, how effective are terrorists v. hackers? Or kiddie porn v. ISIS? Russia v. Anonymous?

If I'm Obama I need to know which bogeyman to deploy for a specific policy desire. Which one will scare the public the most?

For example, should Obama use the fear of terrorists or pedophiles to enact restrictions on encryption? I wonder if they have focus groups for this kind of thing.
