[tor-relays] Exit policy question

[Sven Olaf Kamphuis]

btw, when we say "secure" we don't refer to "encryption" but rather to 
keeping undesired elements from communicating with us :P

"secure" in terms of what you mean is accomplished by physical port/wire 
security, or encrypting the entire layer-2 stuff thoroughly, with 
something -custom- (not american-run ssl junk ;)
