Our new ACME Model 5350 metal exterior door is so secure, you don't even
need a lock!  ;-)

There are many different definitions of "secure" and for total protection
you need to look at all aspects of the situation. If it really is that
secure, then it is a firewall, but if it is a firewall then it shouldn'te
be doing other jobs like serving confidential corporate files.
