Is “thinking like a lawyer” similar to the “security mindset”?

Michael Froomkin (Miami) in this post makes the point — yes, we think like paranoid security engineers — in a humorous way.  Asking “whether this sort of demented worldview, one in which you shake thingsto see how they break, can be taught, I think, ‘Hell, yes: I’ve beendoing it for years.’ ”  I particularly like the subversive idea he quotes of how to use SmartWater ownership markers.  [Alan Childress]
