Perhaps you are really saying that computer security is the reasonable 
assurance that your info-systems are "safe", derived from an ensemble of 
measures that might range from "protections" all the way through the threat 
of massive physical retaliation.

I am hoping to define "computer security" (InfoSec*) a bit more tightly.

What range of "protections" is limited to "computer" protections?

What elements of computer security (InfoSec*) lie beyond mere protections?

*NOTE:  I know that "InfoSec" can involve being careful to whom you talk 
while on foreign travel, etc.  But in the context of "Symbol Warfare", I am 
using InfoSec in the signal-processing sense.  Is this wrong?
