 I'd also argue that the all-or-nothing mantra is guided by prosecutors/law enforcement officers who are much like doctors: a cardiologist knows the heart and so assumes all of your problems can be fixed by fixing the heart; so, too, a prosecutor looks at malware and worms and assumes all of your problems can be fixed by law. As Lessig has beaten to death at this point: conduct on the Internet is informed by much more than law.

Complete security is chimeric. Security will remain a concern in any system; and framing the debate in terms of how much freedom and privacy people must relinquish for security obfuscates that simple fact. But I guess that's the point, isn't it?
