"No really, I've seen some very stupid security stuff out there the likes of which make the above example not just believable, but likely. Don't believe me? Here, hold my beer..."

The "Here, hold my beer..." line is totally played out at this point, anyway, but the usage here doesn't even make sense. The implication is that you're about to do something stupid, not that you're about to tell us about some stupid things other people have done.

Why would I need to hold your beer while you tell me a story?
