There are a fair number of claims being made in the threat draft  
regarding SSP that are not justified.  These issues have been largely  
ignored.  There have been concerns raised regarding the secondary  
effects of the authorization scheme that also have bee largely ignored.

Much of the threat review is premised upon assumptions of protections  
offered by the SSP mechanism.  What concern do you have regarding the  
unfair treatment and disruptions the SSP mechanism permits.  When  
someone attempts to discuss the merits of these concerns, why  
introduce malarkey about everyone already knowing.  What points are  
you willing to concede?  What points are not correct in your view?
