Real world magical security thinking
From Roger's Security Blog, a sterling physical embodiment of every stupid "security" measure we find online -- such as my bank, the Co-Op, which will only accept foreign transfers if you fax them; my former insurer, Hiscox, which will converse by email but not by phone (unless you give them a lot of personal information, for "security"), and innumerable other examples:
* DRM on audiobooks, ebooks and music
* Allowing ground crew to enter airports without screening
* Banning liquids over three ounces
* Prohibiting photographs of products in shops
* Etc
