nuqneH,

I don't think so. And if this ever happen, i'd not feel happy about it
at all. It is a) ineffective, _nothing_ can be done to prevent creation
and distribution of programs of any kind, including destructive ones -
that's the reality and it's better than if it could be 
possible, i don't like the idea of restricting fundamental people's
freedom to create and distribute information at all - if this will happen,
there defenitely will be many other cases where THEY will try to apply
such a restriction b) hell, WHO are THEY to ALLOW me to do MY JOB?

So are you suggesting that perhaps it is time software such as ISS, etc,

they can be used against (article about this went to bugtraq some time
ago) but also be required for those buying the product/license keys
in order to undertake such work ?  I think this is almost a inevitable.

So do I. Indeed, I think that it may boil down to some kind of
professional certification being necessary. There are analogs
to this - locksmithing certification, federal firearms license, etc.
That's part of what I meant about how that grey area is going to
get real thin, soon.
