The word, security door is mal-writen and its needed to be corrected to Security Door. Thank You, MD.

Are you sure about that?--Johnsoniensis (talk) 10:15, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Security Door Paradox with Firefighters

edit

I'm a computer programmer, more interested in computer security, but always trying to connect it to reality. I pay attention to funny situations like how airport inspectors have to open your luggage, whereas you want to lock your luggage from burglars, so they make these stupid padlocks that can be opened by airport employees ...

So on the one hand, the more metal-reinforced, heavily bolted my doors are, the more safe my stuff is from burglars. Fine.

On the other side, firefighters need to break into my house/apartment if there's a fire in the building - and they will go down a hallway and break down doors when nobody answers the door, and even punch thru walls if they can't bust down the door. So:

  • If I fortify my door against breakins, that means I'll suffer more damage from firefighters, I guess?
  • At what point do the firefighters give up if I really fortify my house? They're not like superman or anything.
  • If a firefighter can get into my apartment, that also means a burglar can get into my apartment (maybe by ripping a hole in the wall)?
