Well, when you're cranking gigabits sometimes those little checks can 
become a bottleneck.

Besides, safe routing begins at home.  If end-users (or endpoints) would 
do ingress/egress filtering, there wouldn't be a problem.  I'm not so 
certain we should place the blame on the core backbone for passing the 
packets it is sent without alteration.
