I think it's more like if you had a PA system and you mumbled your password quietly sitting at your desk while accidentally sitting on the "talk" button, and less like shouting the password on the street corner. The difference being that it's obvious to a guy that's standing on a corner shouting that he's shouting, but not quite so obvious to a man with a PA who accidentally sat on the talk button.
The question is whether or not to solve a single problem by developing technology or to solve it with Legalism and administration. "To administrate or not to administrate, that is the question", as it were. I tend to trust the Technology more than I trust administrators to cover things when it comes to security. Although, I would think developing, deploying and enforcing a law would be quicker than developing and deploying a secure wireless router to the tech-illiterate of the world. But if it can be done, it would be a more effective method of securing folks private data than making the offenders sit in time out for a few years, or slapping them on the wrist with a fine.
Agreed. And perhaps work it up towards more advanced digital logic applications, such as a Memory circuit. What're they called... JK-switches? D-Switch? something about an OR gate with a feedback to the input of another OR gate.
