I always found lock picking fascinating, but I've never gotten around to actually trying. I'm guessing I also sleep better at night in ignorance. Silly meta qu

  Similarly, I've also always been fascinated by lock picking but have never tried, but long ago I tied physical security and network security together in my mind, and it's been a very long time since I felt any network was truly secure. It's fairly accepted (IMHO) that network security doesn't make it so people can't access your networks/systems, just that it puts enough hurdles in place that it deters the unmotivated and enough detection in place so you get notified shortly after the intrusion, hopefully before damage can be done. Walls, doors, locks and alarms serve the same purpose for physical security. You'll want more or less of each depending on your circumstances. P.S. The other end of the spectrum applies as well, where people have undo faith that their networks are secure, and looking at the reality of it would probably not help them sleep any better.
