   I hope you're right BUT the US government and a lot of companies are starting to really worry about security from "terrorists" and are looking for some way to secure their systems. Let's hope they don't blindly jump on the M$ Palladium bandwagon. IMO "foreign terrorists" are the least of our securtiy problems, SPAMMERs, Script kiddies, and the people that develope and use trojan SW, spyware, etc are a lot bigger threat than some rumored foreign terrorists.
