----------
The point to the "Big Brother" logging and controls on secure systems
is to protect privacy.  Now, you may think it's good for you to have
privacy and bad for government agencies to have privacy, but that's
an entirely separate issue from whether it's a good thing for a system
to be able to enforce it.  I kind of like the idea of the system being
capable of protecting me from intrusions, even if part of the cost is
a level of activity logging that makes it possible to be even more
intrusive, so long as nobody I don't trust has access to that log
data.
