I guess you leave your front door open every morning before leaving for work?

I leave my house unlocked. If not, everyone around knows where the key is.

Of course, this isn't something I suggest you do. It's certainly not practical for most people. I mention it only to show that there are varied security needs. On this particular subject, my credit has been frozen since the OPM breech.

Yeah, that’s the problem when we start arguing with analogies. Things can get derailed easily. Mea culpa.

> I leave my house unlocked. If not, everyone around knows where the key is.

the day you get robbed, it will absolutely make a difference for whoever insure your house and its content.

If someone around here takes something, they needed it more than I did. I live way out in an unincorporated township. People aren't inclined to steal when they know I'd just help them out if they need me to.

It's pretty great to live here. The only crime in my area is growing weed and that's now legal.

We are talking about leaving door unlocked, not leaving the door open. I lock the door every morning out of habit but I'm pretty sure its unlikely that something happen if I don't.

I don't know what you are trying to argue about, but somebody got hold of personal details, SSN and credit card details of 140 million people.

The argument that it is ok, because anyway if somebody wanted it really hard they would find a way to get my personal details, is illogical.

Yes as the parent poster said, it may lead to the improvement of the system.
