Most of the time a slap of reality on the face is a good thing.

It boggles the mind to realize how complacency intrudes in places most of us cannot imagine. Even the "experts" often fail to foresee the ways the "tightest" security fail, whether it's checking passports against the known terrorist and stolen list, at an obscure "International" airport, or at one of the highest profile skyscrapers in the (arguably) most technically advanced country in the world.

The obvious question, after an embarrassed "Huh?" is how will they "fix" those lapses?
