In fact, to be more explicit:  "Trusted Computing" does nothing to stop 
anyone from, for example, stealing your passwords and banking 
information via keylogging, or sniffing your traffic.  The *ONE PERSON* 
whom "Trusted Computing" explicitly *DOES NOT* trust is *YOU*, the owner.

It was not designed to protect anything *of yours*.  It was designed to 
protect *THEIR* property.
