There also ways of bypassing security

I'm not sure that is completely true, I remember there being an

protected by RACF (there were no GROUPs or profiles for most HLQs),
so that might have had something to do with it.
Do you have a reference for PASSWORD protection being ignored? I
would be interested in trying to recall what the problem was, I think
it had something to do with switching sysres, and the PASSWORD
dataset not having an entry for a protected dataset.

at a shiop a few years ago that had one, and it was a PITA, since
they were
securing some datasets with password, and others using RACF, believe
it or not.
If they had RACF then nothing was being secured with PROTECT.
