It is a no-brainer. This approach gets taught in software security courses (at least in mine, but I would expect most/all others do it as well). The problem is people writing security critical code that have no clue about software security. That is cheap, but does not work and cannot work.

Comment Re: Ban LiPo and NCM now (Score 1, Flamebait) 63

And down here in the sane world, what would actually happen is a mark on LiFePo and then, say, 5...10 years, after that has been established and all new ones sold have that, flying with one that does not have the mark will get restricted or not be allowed anymore.

There is really no sane reason for your hysterics.

Everybody is potentially violent. It is human nature. Most people need significant provocation to get violent, but everybody can do it if the situation is right. And that is exactly what "potentially violent" means.

That does not mean that everybody is a threat to others that have not threatened them. Now, "prone to violence" is an entirely different thing, even if still fuzzily defined.

That is hugely problematic. First, everybody (including every woman) is "potentially violent". Second, if it gets easy to make accusations and those accused have no recourse against false accusations, many accusations will be false. This is why we have "innocent until proven guilty". This is not a luxury, it is necessary because too many people are willing to lie.
