One would *hope* that a major country's spook agencies kept themselves to a
*slightly* higher security standard than Sixpack Joe's Website and
Bait-n-Tackle Emporium.  The risk/benefit analysis for the average .com and

this one of their lesser problems (if you want to consider it a
problem at all).

A totally separate problem, but one that's not in DIA's jurisdiction.
