And that's the point.  The average user *is* "running Windows,
publishing their whole life online on Facebook, or filling their systems
with malware".  They should be concerned, very concerned, but no one has

PS:  I'm almost mortified that the average young adult is now letting
nightclub operators scan their drivers licences and even link it to
their finger print scanners for entry.  What a remarkable vector for
identity theft.
