Reminds me of an old tagline:

/* The more sophisticated the technology, the more vulnerable it is to 
primitive attack. People often overlook the obvious.  -Dr Who, 1978 */

And also, come to think of it:

/* It is important to realize that any lock can be picked with a big enough 
hammer.  -Sun System & Network Admin manual */

One great thing about punched cards (and printed paper, and even such things as 
paper tape) is that they don't suffer degaussing or other such high-tech 
ailments. 
(They have their own /different/ problems.) Cards and printed paper are even 
human readable. Wow.

Let's hear it for low tech and old tech!
