To extend Leif's thought, if you NEED security, don't use a computer! It will always be possible to construct an argument that NO computer system (hardware or software) is invulnerable. Those of the list who argue the cost/benefit tradeoff for business security have valid point for most normal business - how much are you willing to pay to incur a given level of security? However, when human life, national defense, or information socially considered private is present, the stakes may be higher and the need for higher levels of assurance grows. But, even in those scenarios, history has shown us that we must not delude ourselves into believing that systems controlling this type of information are secure from attack. There will always be a way to subvert hardware, software or human controls.
