sometimes they do, often they don't.  it depends on the market, and also 
on consumer awareness.  a lot of automobile purchasers aren't aware, for 
instance, that the new car that they are buying records information 
about their driving habits that can be used against them.

and a lot of people (including myself) are not nearly so willing to fly 
commercially as they used to be.

sure, but we're talking about what IETF should standardize, not about 
what already exists.  the existence of bad things does not compel IETF 
to bless them.
