Security vs Convenience?!

Now i've got a collection of VPN tokens. The Black one is for work, and the Red one is issued by the Bank.

The Company is ultra paranoid with the confidential data and proprietary information. That i understand, we need to have very secured networks, and at the same time allow mobile employees to access network for work purposes.

The Bank is also ultra paranoid with its customers information. Hence, several banks are strengthening the security of their internet banking services. So, this particular bank decided to issue a VPN token to every customer. I appreciate the bank's effort but this in turn becomes a hassle to the customer who prefers the convenience of easy internet access. Now, my bag is already cluttered with so many gadgets. *sulkz*


... i think i'm gonna go back to cheque books, and migrate the online payments to my other bank a/cs...
