How about the fact that opensourcing the damn thing will keep Ubernerd-terrorist-paedophile-government officials busy trying to figure out a new spoof to keep from getting caught or monitored... Idle hands and minds would be worse, neh? just think what kind of skill it takes to stay ahead of this sort of thing... you'ld spend so much time sitting in front of a screen and smacking keys that you would rapidly gain enough weight to qualify as a bedsore ridden 500lb shut-in. This would greatly reduce your efficacy as a Ubernerd-terrorist-paedophile-government official. Either that or you've just got way to much time on your hands ( the terrorist cell communication thing is quite funny considering the layer of penetration of ISP's in the middle east ). I'm curious about the trailing and snooping of contents from randomly public internet facilities (ie US libraries and cyber cafe's) posting to free email (ala hotmail) - ya my home machine may be sniffed by my provider - but what about "public" places? imagine trying to sift through THAT traffic? and without any idea as to what the email addresses are ahead of time, let alone what the point of origin OR the ultimate destination are? what a pain.
