#9 There are people in the government who know the range of internet addresses that are assigned to Iran. It should be a simple matter to put a firewall in front of all of our backbone nodes that would prevent anything from any of those addresses getting through to Texas or Utah or any other computer in America. Why is this not being done?

And while they're at it they should do the same to China, Russia and Ukraine.

#10 Maybe we should be trying ti increase system security rather than agitating for government backdoors.

The long game con backtracks IP relay cluster pathing. Neophytes believe anonymity abstraction is insulation but given sufficient analysis even multi-link random routing, clusters. Link analysis gives optimized target points.
