You are correct.
The uncomfortable part is what I've learned about the challenges to gain physical access.
Most physical security is equally appalling to most Cybersecurity.
Edit: Incredibly unfun exercise: pick a physical security device you rely on, personally, and do a YouTube search for "device name break in test". I've rarely been able to find a video more than 3 minutes long, for any product, at all. And the actual breaking is usually mere seconds in the middle bit.
The lockpicking lawyer scares me.
Imagine you wake up in the night, you hear your front door rattling. Someone is trying to break in. "No problem" you think to yourself, "I have a good lock on my front door". Then you hear the five most terrifying words you could possibly hear in that moment:
"This is the Lockpicking Lawyer"
That guy is an exceptional picker/exploiter, and he isn't even the best.
However, I've casually picked locks and always have a set of picks with me for the past 20 years. LPL makes me look like a 10 year old kid trying to open a lock with a pair of chopsticks.
In other words, probably less than 5% of the population have ever picked a lock. Of them, I'm probably better than 90% and I still suck at it. So running across an LPL level skilled person, who's also a criminal is going to be like a list of names on a single piece of paper. Just buy a lock complicated enough that you can't scrub it open and everyone will be fine.
Me too.
