...in which case you look out the window to get a good look at the
perpetrator, call the cops and give a reliable description, perhaps
including a car description, license plate, etc. Either that or you open the
door and punch his lights out.

Where do we get reliable ID information from a mail header? The bell is
being rung by an innocent neighbor turned into a zombie by the real, unknown
perpetrator.

Boyd had the right idea (not the current one (though that one's good too))
but... let's see if I can find it... quoted it in my book...

The final solution is to either beef up IP (bad idea) or replace

it with a mutually authenticaticated, encrypted protocol.



When you have identity you can resort to your nice, civilized due process.
Until then it's terror, plain and simple. If applying harrassment and
trespass laws is effective against terror then our other big problem is
solved, just serve criminal complaints and lawsuits against bin Laden et al.
