Well, that is the point of the thought exercise. :) But the goal is to
have "policy people" go through it so they understand WHY the concept of
"banning hacking on critical infrastructure" is mostly-futile as opposed
to just having to believe us "tech people".

You could, of course, do a cap-and-trade structure on the tokens, such
that you only start with a certain amount of them, and get to trade for
the rest, a-la-bitcoin. This would force you to prioritize where your
key infrastructure is, but the idea might be a bit painful and expensive
such that policy people will realize there MUST be a better way, which
is when you suggest that instead we do other, more sensible things. :)

The logical conclusion of placing "don'thackmebro!" tokens on
sensitive computers is that every GOV computer even remotely concerned
with the notion of the critical infrastructure will have it leaving
your adversary no choice to ignore them.

If you disagree with this post, please spam here instead of twitter,
which has only terse horribleness as its argument protocols. :)
