The May 16th execution of Timothy McVeigh will be "broadcast" to relatives of the victims over closed-circuit television. The concern many have is that this broadcast might be seen by many in the Hacking community as their Super Bowl. Attorney General John Ashcroft told reporters that the broadcast will "use the latest encryption technology integrated with state-of-the-art video- conferencing over high-speed digital telephone lines".

The problem the government faces is that the execution will take place in Terre Haute, Indiana and the main audience will be in Oklahoma. There certainly isn't a dedicated phone line from one point to the other so traditional phone lines will be employed. If I were to bet, I would think someone will get it. Images, and maybe video will show up on the Web soon after.
