I'm interested in the Sandboxing point in section 4. I understand these to
be designed as a pro-user security feature. In general I don't trust random
network devices in hotels so I'll use a VPN. That leaves me open to malware
attacks from the captive portal [1]. Deciding to put captive portals into a
more-restrictive-than-usual sandbox then seems reasonable to me.

Can you explain the problems caused by sandboxing (I don't think I've ever
experienced them)?
