It's still a valid concern. If someone's going to try to break into your system and do nefarious deeds, you should be trying to make them work for it as much as possible. Physical security standards recommending not leaving toolboxes outside your backdoor so that a thief won't take your crowbar and pry your deadbolt lock out of the door jam. If the bastard's going to break in through the back door, at least make him bring his own tools with him. PG
