CheckPoint Firewall-1 and Script Kiddis

Last week I've received a funny letter @work.....
CheckPoint FireWall-1 is the solution for officials and organizations with small security-requirements. Only 1-2 points on the 0-10 list.... and every semi-prof hacker AND script kiddis can go through checkpoint into the local network....
This statement have made an IT-expert and he recommend no firewall and on every machine the user must start with a knoppix-cd and then connect to the internet in the box....
I work with CheckPoint since 2001 @work and @home I have a safe@office-solution appliance with CheckPoint-technology. I think no firewall can realize 100% security but CheckPoint is definitly not a low-security solution... It's a scalabiltiy solution and with the correct configuration it's one of the leader in the security-area....
But it's funny to read this letter with no content but a lot of wrong information... I'll answer with facts because some people have read this letter......and this is like some newspaper, the big headline, no true but someone believe this.....

-take care
