While we're at it, why not have the logging program automatically
encrypt the log with an encryption key that only the sponsor has, and
automatically email the log within 1 minute of the end of the contest.
The cheater...erm contester cannot access the log at all.

Now back to real life, I think that with all the hubub, we have seen a
very ugly possible future for contesting, a future in which the
assumption is that you the contester, are not a trustworthy person, and
that many levels of detection are needed to ensure that you do not
cheat. It is a future in which I think that I'd just as soon chase DX or
ragchew I certainly wouldn't be involved in such an adversarial
relationship.
