Seeing as how "availability" is considered part of security, this is a load
of [snip] which gives non-security type people the wrong view of what
security is.

Besides, in the situation where a server is locked in a closet, all you have
to do it call up the receptionist and in an urgent voice tell her to plug the
machine back in and flick the powerswitch.
