No, actually, its not. I mean, yes, there are always tradeoffs to consider in security, but that wasn't the point he was making. In the case of the restroom door there is no significant tradeoff - it's just as easy to lock the door as not to lock it. This particular metaphor was about a false sense of security. Maybe you had to see the article that the sidebar was associated with to get that.
I'm significantly less worried about determined malicious intruders in a public restroom than I would be over a LAN.
Like I said, ask Richard sometime about his war story....
