You could take the 10 worst viruses out there right now, paste their source code into notepad, save it and email it to all your friends without a single one getting a virus. Compiled code cannot exist inside plain, human readable text. Tell your infosec folks to focus on finding a solution for "Acts of God, Natural Disasters, War, Terrorism... and the other fun ones" because at least those risks exist.
