Speaking for only myself here...
I for one find it highly ironic that somebody posting from a *.gov
site is complaining about MIT not being "willing to use the tools
that we have today to improve network security", when it is the
US government that has done more to restrict and impede the progress
of worldwide network security (through its ridiculous and outdated
export restrictions) than any other organization on the planet.
Thanks to you, I can't "use the tools that we have today" to help
my overseas customers, no matter how much they (and I) might want to.

Something about "people who live in glass houses" comes to mind...
