I think we should have armed police, along with anyone else that's sane. All for the second amendment. Just in the cyber world, it just feels irresponsible because of the unlimited nature the internet has. Also probably the fact, I read posts that get popular on HN from time to time where the researcher does a responsible disclosure is probably influencing that feeling too.

I guess what's standard in the "tech world", is probably totally different in the intelligence community.

Like companies can't protect themselves, if there's no updates. There's basically no defense. Same reason I'm not a fan of nuclear power. Once you make the waste, it's hard to get rid of.
