Please don't ask SA to become an antivirus or attachment file type
security policy enforcement tool. There are already very effective

  Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag,
  half-starved group of Jews took 10 handguns and made asses out of
  the Nazis.                        -- Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor
