Users Disabling Security
It’s an old story: users disable a security measure because it’s annoying, allowing an attacker to bypass the measure.
A rape defendant accused in a deadly courthouse rampage was able to enter the chambers of the judge slain in the attack and hold the occupants hostage because the door was unlocked and a buzzer entry system was not activated, a sheriff’s report says.
Security doesn’t work unless the users want it to work. This is true on the personal and national scale, with or without technology.

Security won’t work as long as it is a hassle. The children of tomorrow will find it less and less of a hassle, it is the children of today that are problematic.
