That was an enlightening read, considering the colloquial meaning of "your firewall security is like Swiss cheese"

What's next? A system so secure that you can drive a truck through it? A honeypot in the center of a wasp nest?
The Swiss cheese model is what people use to sell you more 'security' related software systems that inherently involve more problems. (Also cheese is not very durable, even the kind without holes.)
