Hmm...either I wasn't clear enough, or you misunderstood. Maybe replace "idea" with "concept" or "requirement". What the doctor is doing/should do isn't ridiculous. It's the fact that the EFF had to write a 30 page document that instructs people on how to protect themselves from some neanderthal on a power trip who decides to comb through personal emails at the border. All in the name of fighting piracy. That's ridiculous.
