I've got the last 2 decades of experience trying to deal with security on the network.
95% is dealing with the peculiarities of the "bolt-on" after-thoughts.

There are at least 2 decades of experience that security has to be design-in, rather than bolted-on, for it to work well -- and for it to be practical to implement. I hear that you don't agree, but the IETF experience on this specific point really is quite clear. Add-on security doesn't work.
