...in which roving bands of well-meaning, idealistic vandals break into our homes and businesses on a regular basis, in order to enlighten us about how insecure our buildings are. You wouldn't stand for it, and you know it. The hypocritical behavior on the part of security researchers needs to stop. You want to research flaws? Get a job doing it or do it on your home computer - and if you are so addicted to fiddling with someone else's code and computers, don't whine about how underappreciated you are when you are caught and prosecuted.
