But that's not as hard for attackers to obtain as you might think.

And I neglected to mention the trivially simple scenario of Dr. Ed
sipping his vente cappacino moca choka latte with cinnamon swirl in
Starbucks and accessing the website via wireless there. Unless Dr. Ed
is VPN'd into the environment where these images are flying over the
wire unencrypted, everyone at starbucks can help themselves to the
