  I'm not saying the guy is the second coming of Hitler. I mean is it his job to care? Not really. Is the absurdity humorous? Maybe he communicated it wrong? It's twitter. It's more that security teams tend to have uncooperative, aggressive, authoritatian, and punative dispositions. I think ye old security industry had its roots in three letter government agencies which are used to conformance, policy hammers, and enemies of the state. But when you add that to an organization already rife with infighting, dissatisfaction, and frustration, it will just lead to more resentment and your employees become your enemies. The biggest security threats these days aren't leet hackers exploiting 0days, or even the county password inspector conning his way in. It's overworked angry pissed off employees leaving the door open. It's like Princess Leia said: the tighter you squeeze, the more people you lose.
