OK, how about using this list. There is already a degree of vetting.Technical suggestions? If you don't have the resources to cool the reactor then atomic power plants are a really bad idea :) Seriously, I don't think there are 60k people who need to be vetted. I think that a distribution network of trusted individuals works pretty well. There are probably people who are not on this list, who are qualified to handle malware, who have need, and who have good intent that also know people on this list. Let people develop a trust relationship and obtain the samples that way. There are damned good doctors with a legitimate need for morphine. There are people who have the knowledge to administer Morphine for good purposes and competently, but they don't have access to it. They have to go through the hoops to get legitimate access. There are criminals who deal morphine. Is the fact that someone who might do good is denied access to morphine and bad guys have access a reason to legalize it. I can think of other reasons to legalize it, but not that one.
Imagine a world where every street corner would openly sell Morphine yet Doctors would have to follow the law and not use it except in some specific places.
Fiction? Fine.. try this.France a few hundred years ago was very much unfair. The wealth was divided 99.999 -> rich people, 0.001 -> poor people.
Is it any wonder the revolution came about?You can prevent this one and shape the future now, as you are already almost too late.
I don't know of a current technology to automate the vetting, and so I think it is best to restrict access until that problem is solved. I commend you for your intent, but I think your current proposed implementation should be placed on hold pending viable safety mods, rather than sweeping up after the spill.
So just because there is no solution we should expect people to not face the problem?
Wrong solutions will be chosen constantly and the problem will regardless of those, get worse.
In this case everyone already has Morphine except those in pain. Gadi. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
