I think that it would be good for release-team to come up with a
solution that would actually allow anonymous web access from the login
screen. My single biggest use case here is CPW - SIPB constantly has
pre-frosh visiting looking for an opportunity to check their e-mail or
check into their flight home or print their boarding pass. Can we figure
out a way for it to be reasonable to have a fully functional browser
from the login screen?
