This is missing the point. Security is not a destination to be reached, but a room tempature set to the preferences of the occupants. Do you ever lock your car doors when driving through the bad part of town? Do you think that we secure our homes the way we want our airports secured? Can you not acknowledge that we all tolerate specific levels of risk in many areas of our lives?
Some one had a great point when they pointed out that Nuclear power plants, the space shuttle, ICBM warz are all very secure and mature systems. Do you really think that when Joe Bloggs starts designing an autopart inventory control system, that he is thinking about preventing unauthorized access to the extent of a powerplant? Or that the building engineer for a 12x12 parking lot PhotoMart cares about making his hut as difficult to enter as a bank?
