So, if this article is beating the war drums to incite people against algorithmic trading, what is a possible result?
In the given example, the trader was just looking for a mismatched bid and sell, then fulfilling ("raping and pillaging") it faster than anyone else.
It's hard for me to imagine what could be improved or changed there.

It suggests changing the market from a continuous free-for-all to a series of auctions at multi-millisecond intervals. Sounds good to me.
