That may not be necessary.  Would you hire someone with the poor
judgement to deliberately screw with federal computers?  Would you
give such a person a news feed?  Assuming he beats the charges, he
may have a tough time finding work - even with his expensive CompSci
degree.

Come to think of it, is ??? university liable for the damage one of 
their students has done to the arpa net?  Can they be sued to recover 
the cost of the computer time used by the worm?  Frankly, I hope that
this is not the case - but it's something to think about when this
persons resume comes across your desk.
