There is a big difference between being safe, and feeling safe.
The fact is the entire country is in effect a police state. So it's not that doors don't need locking anymore; it's that it makes no difference whether the door is there or not.
People feel safe not because they
are safe, but because they have been lied to. They are not doubtful and is overly trusting because it makes them easier to deceive. If they have doubts in the system,
they are killed. That's a selective pressure if there ever was one. Doubt and die, or trust and live.
