The more and more I think on this subject, the more and more convinced
that the solution to this problem is through the civil courts.

Companies like, Microsoft, Netscape, IBM, Lotus, Sun, ...ect are selling
software products as "secure" when knowingly they are not. This is FRAUD!!
If you start hitting these companies in the wallet, and sue them for
defrauding the public & selling defective products, there will be such an
outcry from the computer industry Washington will have no choice but to
change the laws.

There must be some lawyers in Europe interested in what would be a
multi-billion Euro lawsuit. <EG>
