Good example of how security is counterintuitive. Another one from real life is how bank robbers often create misleading or blocking maneuvers such as setting a truck on fire, blocking road access to helicopter pads etc. But the epitome of “security paranoia paradox” must surely be military dictatorships, where powers you create to protect you can eventually overpower you.
As a tangent, it feels like there are close analogies to computer security for these cases.

They also threw tear gas canisters at the main entrance. This significantly hampered the police response to the robbery. They made a film about the robbery[2], which was quite well received.
