I added the [VaporWare] tag to the title before someone else raised the point.
The BBB (Block Big Brother) firewall is the predecessor of a more sophisticated firewall for protecting the Kindles from network intrusions.
The BBB firewall may be all that the majority of users need and/or want.
But for others - the future will be kWall (Kindle Firewall), which (**should**) share the BBB firewall structure.
The question to be discussed in this thread, is if an automatic, dynamic, intrusion detection system should be included with either of the firewalls (BBB or kWall) for the Kindles.
The PSAD (Port Scan Attack Detector) is described here:

(And since I worked on that project in its early days, this is not as much 'vaporware' as it might at first seem.) :p
