People who compare network/computer security with home security know nothing of either.

Stop using that stupid analogy and try coming up with a better argument.

Open your mind and think about information companies might have on you and think about how careless those companies are when it comes to protecting that information.

If the Times had your personal info which I'm sure they didn't would you not be thanking Adrian?
