Those guys could write the book on you, right now, to such detail that the entire world will look like glass to you. You might need to come to grips with how transparent those walls already are.

True... but as a developer I know that the weakest link is the people, not the systems. Yes, there are probably alot of systems that aren't as secure as they could be... heck, the system I work on has quite a few holes I know about. However, it is much easier to just try default passwords, blank passwords, calling people and doing social engineering, etc.
So, no matter how strong you think this security can be, the week point will still exist. I have to trust the people you list above, much more than the systems.
BTW: I don't drink coffee. Blech!
