The worst sense of security is a false one. It's hard for people to wrap their heads around the idea that those in charge - federal, state and local agencies - might be cheating the system. But, all too often, that is exactly what happens.
Interpretation
False security can lead to complacency and vulnerability to deception.
Erin Brockovich emphasizes the danger of a false sense of security, suggesting that people often find it difficult to accept that the authorities they trust may not be acting in their best interests.

The written word is weak. Many people prefer life to it. Life gets your blood going, & it smells good. Writing is mere writing, literature is mere. It appeals only to the subtlest senses—the imagination’s vision, & the imagination’s hearing—& the moral sense, & the intellect.
