I suppose we could get into a deep philosophical discussion about how
our governments want us to be scared because it helps keep us under
control versus a free/open society where people are expected to behave
with respect. Let's not go down the path of pedophiles, mother rapers,
father rapers, terrorists, etc.

Ultimately, it has nothing to do with Fedora.

Your both right...I like Bazooka Joe's thinking. There are some
communities that have sought to create wireless zones for everyone.
