I apologize up front for jumping into this debate, but I couldn't resist. Not
a week goes by, or so it seems, without some newspaper, magazine or TV show (apologies
to my media brethren) lambasting security and IT professionals because they
force unnecessary security controls on the poor, downtrodden consumer or worker.
It's as if your security requirements are designed to make everyone's life
miserable with little or no benefit. You evil CSOs! My heart bleeds for the poor
peasants whom you oppress.
