You could pose the same question about each of those pieces, and if folks attitudes are that no individual one needs to be protected, then it's that much easier for a bad guy to get all of them.
If three people each have one digit of a three digit combination, and each one thinks "what harm if someone gets my digit, it's useless without the other two" then I merely have to chat up all three people to get the combo.
If you're reasonably careful with everything then the bad guys have a harder time getting anything.
Take care of the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves, and so forth.
I'm sorry, what was the thread topic again?
