Needless to say, I agree with David Akin.

Furthermore, the Stanford effort is laudable but won't be enough even  
if it succeeds.   We continue to run weak systems at the endpoints.   
It  harkens back to my oft-quoted analogy about armored cars and park  
benches -- secured transport is not sufficient if the endpoints are  
weak.  Actually, securing the transport can make things worse by  
making the operators of the end-points think they are better off than  
they are!
