For a more practical reason, it's not a great idea (audit-wise) to
allow UDP packets through. Unless you're logging every packet,
you don't have a good logical trace of what's going on.

"Most of us are smart enough" is something a good security-wizard
would never EVER say. :) Seriously though... in environments like
AT&T, IBM, RBOCs, security firms, etc. guests need to be signed in and
occasionally sign NDAs. A video peek into a room by Joe Random is a
serious security threat.
