To some degree, yes.  Most of the miscreants are clueful enough not to
scan from their home machines.  The end result is a lot of hacked hosts
are black holed.  On one hand you could say "serves 'em right for being
hacked!"  On the other hand, you could wonder why it is that the
non-geek broadband users must be system, network, and firewall
administrators.

Thanks,
Rob.
