Like a red rag to a bull...

I don't think that this is a sustainable attitude.  If we are going to take security seriously, we have to consider every networked device to be exposed to a hostile environment.  Now that doesn't mean that you can't take steps to limit hostility in networks, and there might be sound reasons to believe that the degree to which you have to expend resources in defense of certain attacks is different as a result.  But the notion of a gooey middle remains a big part of the problem statement.

This isn't really on-topic for this list as I understand it, and I wasn't planning to say much here until someone said this.  Sorry Michael :)
