Have them call me, I could use the money ;)
The belief that a list of 'bad identities' will help security is suprisingly persistant. We see it distorting air travel safety. (Just ask Congressmen Ted Kennedy or John Lewis, or any David Nelson you meet, or Johnnie Thomas, or...) Let's not let it distort internet security as well.
I've been playing a little with a contact Web site[1][2] that "introduces" folks by degrees of separation- I'm wondering if we could whitelist 90% of the Internet that way with some relatively simple mail parsing programs and a web of trust of a couple hundred people on this list?
