Yes, he may well be all you say, however, not everyone smells like a rose 24x7x365 (or 366) so apart from personality disorders, what is going to be the result?

A law, ala Murphy, I once saw on a web site said that often the solution to a problem would create an even bigger problem. Yep, I think this just proves the case.

So the result will be that only the criminals will have security breaches to exploit. Talk about raising the paranoia level sky high, ooo weee oooo....

Now move the location from the relatively beign academic world to..., how about eBay? PayPal? The bank of your choice? Your health insuance carrier?

The highway robbers of 18th century England will be seen as mere pikers by comparison.

Good Luck, you'll need it.
