Preparing for war? Sound like FUD to me.

Being prepared in the event a war happens is more likely.

Putting in place the tools to disable infrastructure is an act of war, so is reconnaissance. It may not be an overt action, but it is a real and quantifiable threat.

Of course most of the SCADA systems out there are pretty much hopeless if they are connected to the internet at all.
