So, what you are saying is, that the current policy is good, because it can
be bypassed by just lying? 

Call me old fashioned, but I think lying is a bad thing, that you do not do
just because you have an advantage of it. I'd rather go the rough way and
try to fix the policy that encourages this kind of behaviour instead of the
easy way.

for instance, a crime was planned by people over the Internet. They don't
bother to mention when criminals use the telephone or the M4, or discuss
their dastardly plans over a cup of tea. -- Douglas Adams --
