There are some people won't touch anything to do with open source projects as they feel it might have issues with security. What does open source actually do for security or change how it works?

@ZenFriedRice @SamXavia I remember back in '98 getting in an argument over this with the company's chief architect. Finally had him back down when after he claimed "no professional security company just publishes their source code" I then replied "well, actually RSA BSAFE is distributed with all source."
