them).
This is funny:

Do We Really Need a Security Industry?

| Aftermarket security is actually a very inefficient way to spend our
| security dollars; it may compensate for insecure IT products, but
| doesn't help improve their security. Additionally, as long as IT
| security is a separate industry, there will be companies making
| money based on insecurity -- companies who will lose money if the
| internet becomes more secure.
