Darryl,

I quite agree with you.  Any company that claims to have solved
security measures with hardware and software is either being
ignorant, or themselves immoral and fraudulent.  (And if they
gave you a card with their netaddr, please forward that comment!)
Any security system must include people training as well as
whatever software and hardware.  Besides, their system (as you
described it) did have holes, which you "legitimately" exploited.

The only secure system is one sealed in the center of the earth ...
or the sun.

	One Who Knows.
