Though for the record, I would like to see AT&T lose this case, badly. If you design a system based on personal info you damn well should shoulder the liability when you screw it up.

...and a safe being bolted to plywood is an expected and common hazard. A safe being glued to drywall - so weak you can literally pull it off by accident - is not an expected hazard. Thus, I'm happy for the latter to incur liability that the former doesn't.

But where is your personal responsibility for relying on something with poor security?
-
That's precisely my point: in the glued on scenario you have no way of knowing you're going to have poor security because of the negligence of others (arguably even fraud).

The hotel safe is, epistemically speaking, a presumption of guilt situation. I would not only assume the safe is glued to nothing, but that the hotel has a master key stored in a near-public place. Until proven otherwise.
-
No, even that's too optimistic. Assume the safe has a back hatch for 'customer service' which not only has a near-public key, but was accidentally left open.
