Right. Nosec on automatic coasters is a solution. We decided that the
worst that can happen there is that there could be a rogue coaster
service that could steal jobs and data and/or provide fake results.
I wouldn't call that a solution though. It's a step backwards from a
security perspective. But it may be an option to consider, in particular
given that it's already possible to do this by having rogue workers.
So yes. I can add that option.
