And this is always the excuse that the gadget freaks cite.  Wouldn't it
be easier to just put a small wall of bricks and mortar in front of the 
console?  But that doesn't earn you a K00L S3CUR1TY D00D merit badge.

I'm being flippant -- but it's difficult to take the "Slowing down the bad
guys twenty seconds justifies all this (cool, intriguing) gadgetry;
we're all about helping security, honest!" people seriously.  

My living room has a couple of far less baroque ways of slowing
in-person bad guys down, called the front door and the residents.
