The real problem is convining everyone that security actually is their job
or concern to some degree or another.  This include each person in each
cubicle in the office place as well as home users.  If we acted with our
homes and cars and bank cards like many do  with their laptops and
desktops, well chaos would truly be the rampant norm.
