Sense of Security

DEFCON lock in action

Frankly, I hate the idea. We should be able to leave our stuff in our own offices and homes and not worry that someone would come in and steal it. Especially here on campus, tepi syurga, as my mother likes to say.

I didn't lock my locker half the time in high school and don't employ any additional security system on the car. We never lock the gate to our house, but we do lock the doors at night. We shouldn't have to.
