I’m not an expert here but isn’t security by institutional bureaucracy a feature here? First, it’s a system that people without any degrees can understand and execute without the aid of computers. Trust involves far more than cryptographic trust: understanding how the system works and that it is being carried out faithfully is also important: how do people do that when not only is the system opaque but the means of executing it is also a black box? Second it’s really difficult to attack. The physical aspect and coordination required makes it difficult to pull off and harder to do quietly without anyone noticing.
