Allow me to say that your answer seems particularly naive.
As another HNer has already commented, control of physical space trumps any hacker doing anything. Particularly true when you can't simply H-Bomb an enemy, or the entire world would rise against you.

I'd say, it's probably easier to hack individual humans, but - like everything in computing - hacking algorithms scales well, while human factors generally don't.
We have a chance at detecting purely electronic hackers also. For example, hackers made 574 attempts to connect to one of my servers as root since the logfiles were rotated.
This idea that physical is somehow categorically better than electronic is just magical thinking.
