Right, but this building has guards 24/7/365; the floor has security
cameras; and I know all of the people on this floor and trust them.
Security has a cost, and there is the concept of diminishing marginal
utility.  Remember the story of a boy who earned money by selling his first
sheep.  He bought a purse for the money, and then locked zipper bag to keep
the purse secure; and then a locked box for the zipper bag, and then a safe
for the locked box, and then had just a few pennies left to safeguard.  If I
had your skills or Rick's skills, I would have better security; but IMHO,
the cameras and the guards are going to be okay for now.
