How about we just ship everyone who falls for a phishing scam off to some 
uninhabited island somewhere.

But really, I think requiring users to use a public/private key system to 
secure all financial transactions would be a good step in the right 
direction.  Though I also see users easily being fooled into screwing up 
even that.  So who knows.
