My be instead of prohibiting insecure products we can just put labels on them? Want to buy shiny new thing from kickstarter, be my guest, but it'll have a huge SECURITY NOT CERTIFIED label on the side or something like that.

Which will not turn away a dedicated geek, but will give a hint to an average soccer mom.

Certified by whom? And how do we keep those security labels from becoming as useless as certifications like "organic", "natural", and "fat free"?
By some appropriate government agency, I assume.
