Correct you are! The primary security risk on ALL equipment is physical access. There is almost no computer I can't hack if I have physical access to it(I don't mean with an axe either). I can change the password, thus reconfigure a Cisco Router in about 5min if I have physical access to it.

I can't tell you how many well protected systems I've seen against remote access be so easy to break into by simply opening an unlocked door.

Right! And think about people who let their kids and their kids' friends play on the 'family computer' semi-supervised - merrily skipping across the web picking up trojans, viruses, and BHOs galore.
