Many decades ago, while in the Marine Corps, I worked in the cryptography
section. We had a saying there that echoed what Stephen Hawkins once
remarked, "Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool." Or as I
like to say, "You build a better mouse trap, and they will build a better
mouse."

There is no such thing as a fool-proof SOP. The screwdriver wins every time.
However, in the examples given, I find the lack of site security to be
disturbing.
