At what point do you determine who is responsible for securing the environment? The "Gatekeeper" mentality is stemming from this. There is no clear line in any organization and I see the blame-game all the time.
This is exactly the example I give when I try to explain to someone that managing through personal responsibility as opposed to team and organizational responsibility will grind your company productivity to a crawl.
There are actually generally rules for which employees have responsibility over the vaults in banks. The employees aren't equally responsible. Roles and responsibility are defined strictly. Generally, the lowly tellers aren't allowed the same access to the money as the general manager, and they aren't held responsible to the same degree if money in the vault goes missing.
