I agree 100 percent that it isn't rocket science. My concern is that it isn't universal either. An explosion of home workers will greatly expand the number of people who don't have security factored into their connections. We don't have to solve the problem here, but FTers should make sure that their own work connections are secure - and, ideally, that their organizations make sure their coworkers' are as well.
