Well....if you feel you must, although I'd have a lot more fun, if
you proved me wrong with some verifiable leads supporting your

You can't make him wear a tinfoil hat?  ;-)

No, seriously, I wouldn't put it past our current administration
and the tinfoil hat wearers at the FBI (yes, they got theirs too)
or worse, the jackboot wearers at the FBI (and elsewhere at the fed),
to fantasize about pushing such a dictum upon the US AV vendors (not
even crediting that a significant portion of the AV market is held
by non-US vendors), but realistically, it seems unlikely they'd be
successful in such an approach.

Going even further off-topic (par for the course for FD), does
anyone have any ideas how they might create such a trojan (there
seems to be no mention of self-replication in any of the articles)
that could be recognized and ignored by AV software, but prevent
others from using the same methodology to shield their malware?
