No, I'm not that nasty. But the guy who posted the spoof questionaire said
he felt like he had just shot a burglar in his livingroom (perfectly legal
in the USA) but now he has a big bloodstain in his carpet...
As long as there are fallible humans in great numbers administering
network security, firewalls are only the beginning...
I think that this will evolve to a point where most companies outsource
their network security including firewall management, just like most
companies now outsource security services rather than hiring their own
security guards. Of course, larger corporations will tend to do both of
these things in house.
