Yours is at a business where strangers can find there way. And
might want to do your computer harm. I have a DSL modem with a 4 port
router that has a great hardware firewall. No-one has ever got through
it in several years.
My computers are safe at home.
For now... Really, all you've addressed is the password issue, with
that (whether someone can easily log in). But, SELinux gives you a
protection in another area. You do use the internet on those computers,
if the applications you use have an exploit, and you encounter something
that exploits it (mail, web, internet messaging, whatever...), SELinux
is there to help protect you.
