Seems to me we have come a long way from "the security mechanism enforces
the security policy of the organization, if it can. it does not enforce a
policy of its own."
Granted, there are people who want intrusion detections systems with
psychic powers, but the requirement that a device filters incoming content
for viruses, or outgoing messages for certain key words is certainly easy
to do programmatically. If you don't want to do it on grounds of principle,
and I'm the boss, we might just terminate our relationship. If it is a
matter of "it just cannot be done," or "it cannot be done while still
keeping the system usable," then our job is education.
But that is not where this discussion has gone. It seems like it keeps
coming back to whether we think it *should* be done, not *could* be done.
