His anecdote at the end reminds me of the fire alarms at my college dorm. My freshman year the dorms had been renovated and the new fire alarms had been set to be far too sensitive. For the first three weeks after we moved in the fire alarms went off at least once every two days. It got to the point that they started being called the "everything's okay alarms" and people would just ignore them as best they could when they went off. Thanks to those fire alarms, our emergency plan for a real fire in the dorms was to have someone run through all the hallways shouting "There's actually a fire this time!!!" Sometimes overly secure systems are worse than no security at all.
