I always thought the WHOLE POINT of UDP submission was the admission
that it's fairly prone to spoofing, poorly/unauthenticated,
unacknowledged without higher layer mechanisms, susceptible to packet
loss, and inherently insecure, ALMOST EXACTLY like the RF medium we're
getting the packets from. :-p
