It's a good thought, but I've read about spammers placing the security 
code pictures on the front-end of free pr0n sites.  Then, they link the 
pictures to the words entered in by the "clients" into a database. 
Then, they take this info to get past the legitimate security codes.

Granted, we're probably not as attractive to spammers as say amazon, so 
we could probably use this for a while.  I'm just trying to point out 
that because these spammers are using this for their income, they're 
very smart at getting through the hoops.  Eventually it comes down to a 
balance between the benefits and hindrances of security.  We might want 
to start determining how much security we're willing to put up with...
