Umm. You missed the *very first* principle of proper security design.

It shouldn't be "as secure as possible". It should be "as secure as it
needs to be".

I mean, I suppose you *could* go with mil-spec security, where all materials
are kept in a locked safe under armed guard, and you had to fill out paperwork
for each piece of paper you took out of the safe, and then more paperwork
when you returned it.  But did you *really* want all that effort just to
check the headlines on bbc.com?
