Comment :  The guidelines also allow wireless networking, which opens up similar security threats. The
guidelines require lots of documentation and justifications for the use of wireless, but the inevitable
consequence of allowing it is that machines with wireless capability will be certified, even though they will not and cannot be secure. Wireless networking is unnecessary and  inherently unsafe, and should be banned outright.
