RE: Newspaper Article about Cable Modem security

I agree with both sides of everyone's arguments.  But everyone seems to be
looking at security as denying/allowing access to/from the home user.

This needn't be the case.

ISPs could implement intrusion detection systems to trap and block attacks
BEFORE they reach the home user.  This wouldn't necessarily impair a users
access to Internet resources.  But would provide the home user with some
level of protection if they can't afford a firewall or other security
mechanisms
themselves.
