I was setting up my macbook a few minutes ago and I noticed on the security and privacy window there is no way to stop the selection of the drop down menu to choose the amount of time before a password is required. Wouldn't this kind of be a security issue?

Say if the macbook is left open and someone walks away someone else could just walk up and change the time from immediately to say something like 8 hours, so if the computer goes to sleep someone could easily access information on it.

Shouldn't this setting be unaccessible if the lock in the lower left hand corner is locked?

I attached a photo for reference.
