Re: Security
It's against the principles of defense in depth - you stil need the outer layer, knowing it's just that, nothing more. Then you need to design the internal layers knowing the outer ones could be compromised.
It's alike having a house with no locked doors or windows, but trying to hide everything very well. But if someone can easily monitor you, it will be able to caught you while you're accessing your hidden treasures, or in a moment you're off guard.
