In a serious publication (Communications of the ACM), researchers
from ETH in Zurich explain that cybersecurity becomes
easier, if only we make everyone "accountable" by making
the infrastructure indelibly track every packet:

What a brilliant idea. While we are at it, we could install
videocameras in every home that tell participants they are
being watched. Bentham's Panopticon personified.
