it is kind of like pick-proof locks. If someone can design it, someone can figure out how to pick it.
This is basically the reasoning behind my own less-than-idealistic security policy.
I just try to stop the opportunists - the determined burglar is going to get what they want and stopping them is not worth the expense and day-to-day inconvenience.
As a result I try to maximise my ability to recover from disaster. This involves insurance for physical items, and backups for data. I assume total physical loss - eg the house burning down. Unfortunately I'll be totally screwed as far as my photos are concerned, but there's not a lot I can do about that. I won't be too disappointed if I'm still alive to take more.
I don't worry too much about protecting sensitive data because I don't have any truly sensitive data. Not even the Coke recipe.
