We've got the same phenomenon we had in the mid-nineties (and still going 
on) where "firewall" = "secure." No matter if it was still in the shipping 
box (nod to Rik Farrow's real audit discovery).

I'm certainly not the only one on this list who lectures about such things, 
and always, always, always spends a few minutes talking about why 
unrestricted connections over encrypted channels is not only stupid, but 
completely unnecessary.

Of course, for that, someone comments, "oh, he just thinks you need 
firewalls everywhere." :-/

And the beat goes on.
