Please stop calling these systems insecure.
Is a can-opener insecure? Anyone who can get into your house and grab it
can use it. But does that make it insecure in any way?
Just because the system is openly accessable to anyone with physical access
does not make it insecure. It seems you have a very very narrow view of the
concept of "security."
