How many of you are actually engaging non-technical people on this topic?

How do they receive (a) the problem itself and (b) you in describing the problem (given that it goes without saying that you so too have the tools/know-how to undetake your own packet sniffing party)?

Seriously? How does this become a larger political issue unless and until we start talking to people who severely are undereducated on the topic?



Because most of the time the problem is just people knowing. It's like what happens if you ask your neighbors in advance about specific features on your new house - suddenly everybody has an opinion about why you shouldn't do it.

Whereas if you just presented the plans, chances are they wouldn't comment at all.
