Security is a Problem of the Weakest Link
While attending the ICSE 2006 conference I stayed at the Tong Mao hotel. My room featured an impressive-looking safe: thick steel, two bolts, and a digital lock.

Despite its formidable appearance, the safe isn't bolted into
anything stable, and thus one can pick it up, put it in a bag,
and leave.
