I can say from experience working on one rural sewage treatment plant
that IT security is not even in their consciousness.  I have also seen
major medical software companies that have the same admin password on
all install sites and don't see a problem with it.  Trying to explain
the consequence of this is almost impossible.  It's very very scary.
