The point is well taken, but it invites the obvious question: is Panera 
putting up a fence, or skipping the fence and just putting up a sign 
saying, "Drowning People In This Pool is Strictly Prohibited"?

They could egress-filter all traffic, somehow, maybe Dan's Guardian or 
similar, portsentry in reverse, etc. and that would be a reasonable 
fence.  I'm not convinced they've put the fence up yet.

In a civil suit merely the absence of the pool fence would be the crux 
of the matter, not the sign.  But pool fences are required by statute, 
while common carriers are not required to egress filter traffic and 
content.

Does anybody know if account logging is a requirement for common 
carrier protection?
