I'm just highlighting that your goals and mine are different. I want to be able to _identify_ the bad guys, no matter what they steal and no matter what mechanisms or subterfuges they may use to steal it. Even if they are making crooked route announcements that have no corresponding route objects in the data base, I still want as many clues as I can lay my hands on to help me figure out who they really are.
