Of course I do. But if a criminal _really_ wanted in those locks
wouldn't stop them.


And of course, the point there is that locking the locks is an
inconsequential inconvenience.

It's well and good to make reasonable efforts to secure persons, places, and
property. But IMHO "reasonable" means the security measure is a tiny
fraction of the cost and/or inconvenience of whatever loss might occur (with
or without the security measure...it goes without saying no security measure
is 100% effective).

That is not to say that I don't think there needs to be some sort
of security measures. I am saying that the security measures that
are in place are innefective. Don't ask me. I don't have a solution.
I don't know enough to be a security expert, but I do know enough
to realize that what's in place isn't going to work.


I agree what's in place isn't going to work. I may disagree on whether it's
worth trying to make *anything* that is "going to work". That is, it's my
opinion that security measures required to ensure no terrorist attacks on DC
by airplanes are too draconian to be worthwhile. Heck, it's my opinion that
the CURRENT security measures are too draconian to be worthwhile, even if
they did do what they're supposed to.
