You know, on some level, I can't help but admire the sheer difficulty of pulling something like this off. <br><br><a href='http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/s ... TVNewsAt11' target='_blank'>http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/s ... ewsAt11</a>

I was talkin to a m8 that works in a bank before this happened. He said banks were so secure these days that you're best off robbing a post office. Kind of ironic. Reminds me a bit of that scene in Pulp Fiction where the guy at the diner says about somebody robbing a bank with a mobile phone.

The banks can be as secure as the night is dark, but its the people that are the real problem. Not that I'm blaming the executives for what happened. You can throw as much technology at a problem that you want, but if the people who run it aren't "secure" (a crude term, but hopefully you understand what I mean), then the whole system is worthless. As the saying goes, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

For some reason, whenever I see the title of this thread, "The Entertainer" starts playing in the back of my head.<br><br>I should really throw that atomic player piano out.<br><br>...And why did I post that? This is severley off topic. Moreso than usual.
