Speaking for myself I wasn't trying to be patronizing. I was trying to be a bit humorous. Sorry if it fell flat.

But lets be honest here. Asking whether there is a security risk associated with leaving an unattended SYS session available is equivalent to asking whether there is a security risk related to withdrawing all of your money from the bank in hundred dollar bills and stacking it up on your desk at work while you are gone for two weeks vacation.

I mean this really does seem like a cartoon strip staring Obvious Man.
