They could derail passenger trains, or even more dangerous, derail passenger trains loaded with lethal chemicals. They could contaminate the water supply in major cities, or shut down the power grid across large parts of the country." Later, he told reporters at the NYT to relax; this imminent threat does not mean he wants to read your email.
Panetta warns of imminent "Cyber Pearl Harbor"
