The perfect firewall is no good if it protects an imperfect, i.e., not
bulletproof, computer. I left my iptables code off for days and didn't

   "Sir, I'm Officer Joeblowski. I'm afraid a teller was shot and killed
at your bank last night."
   "What?! But we have all that bulletproof glass!"
   "Yes, sir, but the killer was another employee who crafted a new
identity, had his face, voice box and fingerprints surgically altered,
faked out the psych tests and smuggled a hand-crafted plasti-ceramic
handgun past the security checks."
   "But our bulletproof glass has no holes! We use speakers and mikes
instead!"
   "....? Did you hear anything I just told you?"
