@BenjaminHCCarr when vendors push out sw developed using 70s sw development practices & heavily restrict security controls through contracts, try locking that shit down. Sure you can build a bottle around it but we've all seen how that doesn't really work in practice.

You think VPN appliances are bad, you ain't seen shit. I'd much rather see some serious gov pressure on the vendors and then push it down to telcos... maybe then we would actually improve the situation.
