It's not like you HAVE to use it. It's an option, you can use it, or not. As
far as the symantic arguments of firewalls/IDS/IPS/etc (technically I'd say
scrub is more an IPS style feature then IDS since it actively manipulates
the data to make it less "dangerous") please let's not go there, it's
pointless.

Isn't choice a good thing?
