Let me see if I've got this straight: You would prefer it if organizations
used better security software. But you don't like people invoking liability
fears to sell better practices because you're convinced the courts will
never make anyone pay for computer security lapses as long as they made
some effort. And anyone who tries to do it right is a chump because they
are just creating a paper trail?
