Every security measure has a weak point though.  To say otherwise is
folly....

Well the point is that there is real security.  Germany is moaning that
Skype encryption is so secure that they can't tap the conversations over
that medium.  Real industrial strength security does exist and is in
fact
causing major headaches for organizations with enough computer power to
break anything they wanted... a few years ago.  Yea you can discuss key
loggers and such but you have to manage to get them in place.  I am
betting
we do not have key loggers on Bin Laden's laptop.

And of course you are right about Windows security, it is a "keep the
honest
people honest" variety - so far.  Which is why I do not depend on it.

Thank you, but I didn't finish it.  Kind of got rushed.

What I forgot to bring in, at the end of my rant, is that REAL security
is
about finding a happy medium, between keeping honest people honest, and
keeping work flow flowing.

Of course, if I found a laptop, I would return it to it's
owner.....other
people, may not even care about what's on it, just turn around and sell
it
for some quick bucks.

Drew,

I love your rants.  OTOH you do tend to minimize things just a bit.

I use encryption to encrypt my files.  I lose my laptop.  You pick it up
and
now you have my encrypted data.  All the keyloggers in the world aren't
going to help you.

'Nuff said.
