I don't see much of a need to rely on a volunteer network operator to
provide what I think is the appropriate level of security for my
communications.
exactly.
seems like the same situation as we have for walk-by hot-spot wireless
nets. is anyone suggesting that they should have some special, local
privacy mechanisms, rather than each user relying on providing their own,
end-to-end mechanisms?
ICANN had armed guards at its meeting to keep the rif-raff out.
In fact there was a public disclosure of a trivial circumvention of that
mechanism.
It was never clear what actual benefit the guards were supposed to provide,
either.
