RE: Response to comments on Security and Obscurity

["yaakov yehudi" <yehudi () tehila gov il>]

A firewall is more akin to a specialized filter medium, but filter mediums aren't used as the entrance or exit to a 
military base.  

It is probably possible to find analogies between the information security world and physical - but only on a piecemeal 
basis, and that is simply irrelevant and pointless.

Peter might be much better to concentrate on the realities and forget about straw-man analogies.  What do you think?

Well, you can try to make an analogy between this and a well-secured network.  The problem is that the analogies don't 
align.  A firewall isn't really like a gate with an armed guard at it.
