Then you fire the auditors and security people and get some people who 
have a touch of common sense.  Don't expect a business to shut down over 
such things.  Just how many people's jobs would you stop just to satisfy 
your fetish for security?

This is a real problem, and one VSI is going to have to address.  Again, 
don't expect a business, perhaps with hundreds or thousands of people to 
shut down for such an artificial reason.
