Security is a Problem of the Weakest Link

 

While attending the ICSE 2006 conference I stayed at the Tong Mao hotel. My room featured an impressive-looking safe: thick steel, two bolts, and a digital lock.

Despite its formidable appearance, the safe isn't bolted into anything stable, and thus one can pick it up, put it in a bag, and leave.
