It's not A or B, think A AND B.

Security should be in layers -- my pocket GPS is in my locked glove box, 
in my locked car, in my locked garage, in my gated community.

If there is never a need to accept callers from North Korea, how will you 
explain to your boss that some NK script weenie discovered some weakness 
in A or B and racked up a bazillion minutes to Libya?

What if you misconfigure A or B?

What if A or B has a 'window of opportunity' during system restart?
