Fair point. But if you were the regional manager at Apple, would you take that chance? More to the point if you were an executive at apple with the your PR team breathing down your neck would you tell them argue your point to the press? Or would you hire a bunch of high priced consultants to preform tests to authenticate and verify the security of the machines and stores in question? Yup, you would pay for the security PR umbrella without question and without hesitation. Again, well over $5k. Also, can you add "indirect costs" into the equation? If so, we have gone from +5k to near $1m in a matter of paragraphs. NEXT....
