Critical Thinking:
When someone connects to the Internet (s)he needs (he doesn't see it BTW) to connect trough different other service located in the US and somewhere else before (s)he gets his Internet connection (right!?), SO (s)he needs to pass through a lot of different services...
When searching a website on Internet one mostly finds some located in countries where "Security" isn't really taken that serious and one risks an infection of the connected device (right!?) when connecting device (computer, anyOs, SmartPhone, tablet, BYOD)!

Even if my connecting device would NOT be protected, in this case I would like to see displayed ===> YOUR connecting device is NOT protected!
