You could lay out every single security system used at Fort Knox and let people download the blueprints over the Net, and Fort Knox would be no less secure than it is today...

To agree with that poster's statement as you did certainly calls your decision making into question. Publishing the complete blueprints of Fort Knox's security systems will NOT make it more secure, jeez man, what are you people smoking?

*sigh* As I pointed out in my post, the overall security of Fort Knox is penetrable. What keeps it robust is the Intrusion Detection Systems and counterattack response it possesses. The vault doors can be breached, as can any other door on the premesis. What part of my point aren't you getting?

Yes but publishing the blueprints does NOT further secure those mechanisms. It weakens them by making them available to the next generation of bank robbers whose tricks we may not even know yet ourselves.

Again, are you going to post your name, birhdate and ssn, or is "security by obscurity" protecting them for you?
