Firewalls are just a tool in a broader security plan. Receptionists and security guards are in a similar position and face similar issues:

• they assume that everybody inside the building is loyal
• they assume that everybody outside the building is hostile

Of course, like firewalls, saying "everybody" is a little extreme.
