It's less secure if peoplee can spoof packets without detection. Filtering is one means of solving this problem. There are others. Filtering is not a perfect solution, there are others that are even better than filtering, they just take more work.
In an operations context anything that takes more work literally can not be better. Filters are automatic, tireless, and usually flawless too (at least once they're correctly deployed). -- Greg A.
