This is seriously wrong, and that word "laughable" is a key-word for others who share you larger assumptions.

Let's assume that protocol enforcement is heaped upon those who can do nothing about it, not "laughing" techies with time and skills; .. until it is. Common access to network infrastructure is clearly being monitored and more and more requirements and restrictions are added each year, not less, in a dizzying number of ways. The ability to find a transaction from a "regulated IP address" used by those who do not have the skills or background to understand what is happening, only increases each year.

This cavalier analysis is counter-productive to someone who wants to a) stay our of the security swamp and b) live life somewhat un-monitored with individual choices.
