I'm sorry James, but you can't expect a (several
hundred dollar) rowboat to resist the same probable
storm as a (million dollar) yacht.
Software is cheaper than boats - the poorest man can
afford the strongest encryption, but he cannot afford
the strongest boat.
If it is that cheap, then why are we having this discussion? Why
isn't there a cheap security solution that even my mother can use?
