With apologies to all the IT guys here, I really think the entire security arena has been taken way beyond rational. We are not talking nuclear weapon secrets here. Is anyone really going to spend days trying to find out what Joe's cholesterol level is? I can show reasonable security precautions, and I think that is good enough. I also take the "back end" approach to computer hacking... just limit the amount of data that is accessible in any one place. Kind of like the old American Express ad that said " never carry more cash than you can afford to lose." I don't put all my money in one account, limit my credit card to what I really need, don't send e-mails that will compromise me; stuff like that.
