it is the nature of human perception to fill in missing pieces, so any security measure that depends on people noticing when something is missing is going to fail... badly...
But really, how long will it take for end users to get a clue. Maybe the key is to make such security icons larger in scale so end users can't miss them.
The smallish icons presently displayed certainly don't lend them selves to 'CHECK ME OUT TO SEE IF I'M LEGIT' type of notability do they?
