Sure they would. They could write a proof that will conclude, based on all "scientific findings" 99% of intruders will come in through water pipes then set forth an idea of a water pipe monitoring system to prevent this. If you were to ask him about this he would just respond that you don't understand physical security like he does because you don't have a phd. He will say this while someone is stealing his wallet. After the next break-in he will claim the fault was not in his water pipe monitoring system but instead the intruder wasn't playing by established "burglar rules" and that a new proof must be derived to take this unpredictability into account. If you point out someone just broke a window to get in and maybe investment in shatterproof glass or motion detectors should be made he will scoff, once again pointing out that you can't possibly understand physical security like he does. After this statement he will then ask for a ride home because someone stole his car. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joe Random <xploitable () gmail com> Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 21:50:41 +0100 Subject: [Full-disclosure] Re: Stupid idea To: full-disclosure () lists netsys com On Tue, 19 Oct 2004 12:11:04 -0600, carolyn.meinel () techbroker com <carolyn.meinel () techbroker com> wrote:
Just wanted to help you out in no-flame mode. The reason no one hires known burglars to secure their homes is that the occupation of burglars is to break into buildings and steal things. If this still seems unclear to you, hire someone who is out on bail awaiting trial on burglary charges to secure your home.
Yes, I would ask him to secure my home. I wouldn't get a jumped up academic to do it, thats for sure. They wouldn't know the first place to start and certainly wouldn't have a natural burglar way of thinking. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
