Making intermediate systems more intelligent is against
the end to end principle and assured to fail.

Considering that google, facebook, yahoo, etc., which are
end systems that many victims are relying upon, are socially
compromised by USG, it can not protect the victims.

Worse, considering that services of Microsoft, Apple, etc. are
socially compromised by USG, end systems manufactured by
Microsoft, Apple, etc.  are totally unsafe.

As for secure end systems, PCs with open source UNIX are much
safer, even though USG can still use a lot of approaches to
compromise them.
