"This -- as much as it is security-through-obscurity -- is actually a great temporary fix."

I don't understand how the Torx screw and cover solution is security through obscurity. They're being very open about it. It may be a weak solution, but it's not being hidden.



If it is a security torx - or some other rarer type of driver then the average guy probably won't have one in the truck. However - the guy coming down the hall to hack your lock while your down at the pool will. I liked the security-through-obscurity reference.


Fair enough, I could've used a better phrase here. I just wanted to drill in the fact that it doesn't help the underlying issues.
