Physical (and digital) security in our world is truly laughable. When will people wake up and start investing the amount of time, money, and attention real security deserves?

I picked my neighbor's front door when he wasn't home, opened his garage, and returned his weed eater to him in about 5 minutes. It was the easiest thing in the world. And yet I'm sure he sleeps soundly at night thinking his locks offer protection.

This truly basic stuff needs to be instilled in children in elementary school: At least 50% (maybe even more like 70%) of all resources (time, money, etc) should be devoted to security whenever you are building something (house, computer program, etc.). It's not enough to try and "wear all the hats" if you are working at a startup. You need to have security experts on payroll from day 1 if you want any hope of creating a secure product, keeping your assets safe from your own employees (re: Twitter), etc.
