Managing security perception can sometimes reduce security risks or the
security TCO, by reducing the number of low-risk attackers. Die-hards will
only stop for real security controls, but you may find easier to impose such
controls without a lot of noise from your security alarms.
The real issue is when you start believing that you are as safe as the sheep
think you are.
