Sure, no box can be secured from an Inside threat.  Give me Physical access 
to the box and the resources to exploit it, and there is no security.

However, since my boxes (and for that matter, 99% of the rest of the 
computers in the world) don't have to worry about that, we're back to the 
most common threat being a connection to the 'Net.
