Dear Chakkaravathy,
Security and safety are 'peas of a pod' - they complement each other. Secondly, it would have been better if you could have advised Mathu about the forum for posting this post.
I was given to understand that sarcasm was never an essence of Citehr.
Mathu, please read the Act; it's very clear and straightforward.
