I agree it would be very nice, but that doesn't make it so. People will do what people will do, and Law is a very poor deterrent - even if you could substitute our kittenish punishments for some real zingers from say the dark ages. I would even go so far as to say it makes things somewhat worse through a false sense of security. We need more eyes open to the threat that is still present in the system. "We need a law" just doesn't work as advertised. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
