I think there's no question that the "how to break stuff" thinking process is an important one. The question I have often enjoyed puzzling people with... is it an innate ability or can it be taught? I've *always* been good at breaking stuff. But could I teach someone to do it? Completely agreed… I think there’s no question that the “how to break stuff” thinking process is an important one.

You used the term Engineer. Traditional engineering school grads learn how to effectively put things together to make better things. One of the important traits for the *super-star security stud* (opps, 4 s's gets you extra attention at airport screening) is instinctual understanding of how to take things apart, break things down, and figure out how things work. Being able to ask the question "what happens if...?" is also an important way of thinking. Even if you are targeting your SSSE person at builing security systems, it is still important to know how to break stuff to build better stuff.
