Of course, the TCPA has nothing to do with security or privacy, since
those are OS-level things. All it can really do is ensure you're running a
particular OS. 

It's amazing the TCPA isn't raising all kinds of red flags at the
justice department already - it's the most flagrant attempt to stifle
competition I've ever seen.
