The whole article can be summed up in an old aphorism: Locks only keep out
honest people.

I read this OpEd piece today, and it captures many of the discussions
I've had with people during the last month.

I highly recommend Charlie Schnabolk's book, Physical Security: Practices
and Technology.  Its one of several I've found very helpful in trying
to understand security.  Hiring ex-cops is one facet of security, but
there is more to security than big guys with guns.  In today's world
you need a multi-disciplinary group handling security.
