I think there is a *lot* more to this, but don't have the time to fully
respond. Good things to think about - yes! But InfoSec has never had the
authority to do what's best. Ideas are floated and quickly rejected, and
the "balance" we all try to provide is as much as many of us can "push"
out against a very resistant culture.
