[QUOTE="danb, post: 869988, member: 62850"] People do not wear their seatbelt while driving because they actually believe they are going to get into a wreck. The odds of them getting into a wreck are slim and none. They wear their seatbelt because it is a reasonable and relatively friction-less security precaution. Wearing a seatbelt certainly makes some people feel safe, but the ability of a security product to make people feel safe does not in any way determine the efficacy of the security product… these two things are not mutually exclusive. If people are engaging in risky behavior and do not feel safe, they probably do not feel safe because they have not taken adequate security precautions, and as a result are actually not safe. It is always a balance between security and usability, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with following appropriate security precautions and enjoying the added benefit of a little peace of mind.
