Quote - Look, let me put it like this. If I go to buy an expensive watch, I don't take it amiss if the watch is in a locked cabinet in the shop and I have to ask an assistant to open it. One doesn't leave a $400 item on an open shelf. But if I go to the supermarket and find that everything down to the cans of soup are locked up to deter shoplifters, and I have to ask an assistant to open the soup cabinet, and then the juice cabinet, and so on - well, I go to another supermarket. Now shoplifting is very bad and evil, but if the supermarket starts punishing ME for the crimes of OTHERS in a way that is disproportionate to the scale of the problem, I take my business elsewhere."

I couldn't have said it better myself - great post :)
