[LUAU] get ready for apple security bugs

[Jim Thompson]

My my, will Maynor, Ellch and Krebs ever let it drop?

Do you have any clue how long its been since Apple shipped a machine  
with a built-in, 11b-only 'Airport' card?

Or the likelyhood that someone who cares about security is walking  
around with their card in an active scanning mode?

And yes, the Apple kernel has many bugs, but they're not necessarily  
exploitable via remote presence.   Not, say, unlike the recently
announced but in WinXP that lets you remotely turn off the "firewall".
