you use polarssl. Which is already exactly that.

I guess this is what that moment is called just before somebody makes a million bucks off of a simple idea.

They will also be held accountable, at least internally, if, when it becomes known, and subsequently there is damage to the interests of the US. So in spite of your rhetoric, it's always a gamble.
