The comments in the article are accurate, but the choice of
facts is conspicuous. This, given all the other horrible
what-if scenarios out there. Also, publicly riffing
on specific technical issues doesn't address the underlying
causes of the problems.
I think the only problem with the comments is that they over-estimate
the benefit of that level of security relative to the overhead it
requires.
