Security in Middle Earth

Random outtake that does not fit into what I am writing:

Someone with lots of Middle Earth experience, emerging from the Halls of Mandos in the Second Age. Say, Fingon.

Fingon:  You sent the early prototype Palantíri as presents to Númenor?  What were you thinking?!  Do you realise those things don't even have password protection?

Elves : Tralalalally.  Evil is ended forever!
