I wonder what sites they actually permit, given that js is disabled. in my experience, the interweb just don't work properly without it...

Tom, could you elaborate a bit more on what security scenario would cause the no script? Do they have js / vb script disabled in their browsers? Wouldnt the no script just open a page with a link to upgrade?
