Careful: source address spoofing, like using a name you don't have
on your
driver license *is not inherently a crime*. *Fraudulent behaviour
which
is advanced thereby* makes it an additional crime.

SAS is sometimes necessary for testing.


An argument could be made that "...fraud is fraud, is fraud, is
fraud..." and should vigorously discouraged. :-)

Sure, Ferg.  But my point was "be careful what you take as a proxy for
fraud; some behaviors have valid uses".
