Yeah, this keeps happening. See: http://www.scribd.com/doc/19003834 The general problem is that the quantum guys keep treating photons, and photon detectors, as systems that do only what they are specified. An equivalent might be a system that is only audited on TCP port 80, but unfortunately there's a few dozen more ports open. On IP networks, it's relatively easy to prove exclusive behavior. In quantum networks, the challenge is "prove there are no photons or particles that will not expose undefined behavior". No offense, but good luck with that.
