SubjectRe: ACPI fundamental locking problems
Other ACPI problems, that come with the increased potential for
malicious code:
- Much easier for NSA to snoop machine activity undetected (hello
paranoid people)
- Much easier to write worms and virii and similar

(it's much easier for someone malicious to patch an acpi table than bios
binary code.....)
