If only because it won't stop anyone from using a modem in your resort and just go around the LAN and logging proxy. (Or a transceiver with digital comms to a radio / internet gateway e.g.) Politicians (in whatever country) just assume averyone is as ignorant with technology as they are. If they have to think of something really effective against terrorists, like taking away the reasons for terrorist acts, they probably fry their Homer brains in the process. Theo -- Theo v.
