let them use it. it is my belief that security is more about implementation and maintenance. the tools used just makes it either easier or harder to implement and maintain. of course, i would not like to place my money in a bank that uses insecure systems (even the preception of being insecure could cause problems for the bank).
besides i remember that a bank even used plain-text protocols for their online transactions across the public internet!!! argh!!! so even if that bank used the most secure network tools in the whole wide world, it would still not make that banks network anymore secure.
