Who cares about bad guys? Really?
Good point.
If you ask with the mindset of everyone playing by the same (protocol)
rules established, I agree.
At the operations side, one might reasonably argue the pendulum has
shifted such that a new mandate would have a high payoff. After all,
the theory is, the impact would be small against the good guy but if you
are legitimate, you would have an avenue of complaining and resolution -
you hope. Bad guys don't complaint - they evolve.
