Yes, the good people who laid the base for SNA and NETBEUI and brought us
ISO 9001 certifications and last but not least ISO 29500.

Or mapped to the current issue:

Security cannot be declared, one can only try hard and 
constantly to implement it.

This is what many, many people don't understand. Especially those 
whit lack of technical knowledge, which then poorly have to fall 
back to say but its illegal.

For example see the award winning statemant of the DECT Forum 
after it was discovered that most DECT phones can easly be 
wiretapped:

Das DECT Forum, der internationale Verband der 
Home-Communication-Industrie, hält das Abhörisiko aufgrund der 
entdeckten Schwachstellen in der Kommunikation von Mobilteilen 
mit der Basisstation für gering. Das leitet das DECT Forum 
daraus ab, dass das Abhören von Telefongesprächen eine Straftat 
darstelle und es nicht möglich sei, Telefongespräche zufällig 
abzuhören.

I don't think that this statement makes anybody feel safer.

Poore one if this statement is ones only answer.
