Unless there are people who still believe in a "one-size-fits-all" form
of security, then I don't think that anyone should debate that what is
good security for one will be disabling and hampering to another.  For
instance, I doubt that whatever FBI group prosecutes child porn would
appreciate it if they were "protected" from the sites that they need to
document.  ;-}
