So criminals and terrorists need to put even more effort into stealing and hi-jacking cellulars and PC's. Well, that will be hard to accomplish. Given the amount of vendor liability in that area. Sigh.

What's next? Fining someone EUR 100000 for "allowing" their cellular or PC to get hi-jacked or stolen and thus cause a treath to national security or obstructing criminal investigations?

Or how about taking DNA, fingerprint and other samples from everyone. Including implanting a tracing device that will kill the subject when removed. And enforcing that on everybody even thinking about crossing our borders? Along with locking up everybody that has no or a faulty tracing device accoording to the nation wide tracking systems? Because that's what it'll take to get an almost waterproof system and that in turn seems to be what's needed before certain agencies run out of excuses.
