For the non-mathmatical, or rather gramatical, style to say it, I use the phrase:
"Security is Inconvenient." The first time I say it to someone, they usually pause for a moment, digest it, and it really helps in further discussions about "what to do about...". It's my answer, for instance, when someone notices just how much I type to open an SSH session. "Wow, that's a long password." "Yep, security is inconvenient." Sometimes this leads to *their* inquiring as to what it buys, and leads to another informed user who doesn't feel pressured. It isn't just UNIX, have you ever looked at how every openable thing on a Catarpiller earth-moving machine has a way to padlock it closed? One key for simple operation, another key for routine engine maintenance, maybe a pass-key (su) for the shop forman, etc...
