Knowledge penetration is limited by a number of barriers including the widespread social vulnerability caused by illiteracy, and a large number of illiterate rely on door locks for personal security. An intelligent burglar would plan ahead by forging a letter of authorization to enter the premises and remove property. By doing this and making themselves a key to the front door, they stand little chance of ever being prosecuted because the police and criminal courts won't get involved in civil disputes. It's encouraging to see more attention being given to social engineering exploits enabled by blind faith in technology. We've all clearly understood these things since we were nine or ten years old, but there's no reason to be annoyed when the rest of the world catches up to us.
