    Though, as a side note, it should be noted that if you have DDB
    enabled then lowering the secure level is pretty easy to do.  If you
    have access to the console, of course.  We used this trick at BEST
    a couple of times.  Still, I think this might qualify as a bug in
    the securelevel implementation.
