The funny thing about security is that it is on the opposite end of a
sliding scale, with "user friendly-ness" on the other side.

As far as "you cannot add it later", given that nearly all the secure
systems I can think off of the top of my head were indeed "added
later" (e.g. HTTPS), I think this claim is false.
