definitely agree with you. from my experience in security study (no means an expert but something i take great interest in), you can write the perfect algorithm (we're already preeeeetty close with AES 256 and up..not perfect, but "pretty good") and the perfect auth mech (again, prettttty close with RSA) but the biggest security flaw is always wetware.

or, as some of you HelpDeskers may know already, the I D Ten T protocol (ID10T).
