Image description: shows a red sign with white text that says "STRICTLY NO ACCESS" mounted on a metal gate. The gate appears to be part of a fence around a park, with trees visible in the background but there is no fence around the gate or anywhere else

I generally use this picture to explain client-side security to an unsuspecting audience
Image transcription: A public emergency telephone with a sign stating "Only 911 can be dialed," with the numbers 9 and 1 buttons taped to make it the only accessible dialing option.
Joke’s on them. The number I wanted to dial was 1-999-999-9999.
Whose that number?
