I find it really interesting that just because of a few generalizations (and that's what they REALLY are) in this area people are ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater before they've ever even tried any of these supplementary solutions. I wonder, has anyone ever taken the locks off their houses and cars just because they can be picked or slimjimmed? Hmm...Crypto can be cracked, passwords can be shared and some really good social engineering will get you just about anywhere. Are we REALLY that surprised with all of this?
Fooling a reader is one thing, fooling the whole package is another. Pointing me to an article written by someone with clear biases does not convince me either. No security solution is foolproof, PERIOD. Under the right circumstances, ANYTHING is possible. I guess I just don't know what all the commotion is about.
