- Retra 9y agoThey do increase security... but if violating security could be justified like that, then why have any security at all? You'd already have a useful justification for legitimately violating security. Like if drinking poison builds up immunity, you don't get a free pass to feed people poison because of it. If you did, then the immunity goal doesn't matter because everyone would be poisoned to death first.
