> safety and security are different concepts

I did anti-terrorism in the military for awhile and I totally agree, but I would love to read the great tptacek's breakdown of the differences.

I'm not tptacek, but I think it's mostly clear that a castle in Compton is more secure than a cottage in a village in the Alps, but less safe.

I believe I've seen tptacek say a liquor store in Englewood, Chicago with bulletproof glass in front of the cashier is more secure than a 7-11 in Lincoln Park, but the 7-11 is safer. Or something like that. :)
