Bernie,

You're years behind. It was fashionable circa 1997 to run scare stories 
about the Internet and junior finding bomb making info (gasp) on it. Reference:

It would be far more imaginative or you to find, or better yet, invent a 
new bogeyman. The problem is that most have already been claimed -- have 
you heard FBI Director Louis Freeh talk about child pornographers, money 
launderers, and drug smugglers recently?

I recommend bioterror and anthrax recipies, but even that's a bit old, 
circa 1996. Reference:

You could try warning of mail-order gun purchases online. No need to 
mention that under longstanding federal law, all weapons manufacturered in 
the last hundred years must be shipped to a dealer or other federal license 
holder. It could still be scaremongery enough for your audience.
