If any facility has a security system, it will always be less secure and [[Rule of Cool|cooler looking]] than its real world counterpart. All sensor systems must be [[Rule of Perception|visually engaging]], all traps must have a bypass that relies on pure pluck and guile. Lock-down sequences will require doors to [[Slow Doors|close in sequential order]], as opposed to all at the same time.
Some specific elements of the [[Insecurity System]] are defined below. Mix and match for an interesting infiltration.
The system need not be high tech in nature. Old-school [[Temple of Doom|temples]] and [[Durable Deathtrap|ruins]] can have implausible [[Bamboo Technology|mechanical]] or [[A Wizard Did It|mystical]] devices that serve the same function.
The real-world versions of several of these elements, and the Hollywood methods of defeating them, have been tested by the [[Myth Busters]], frequently with surprising results.
