Description
When flashing a Kinetis device, pyOCD overrides the Flash Configuration Field with safe defaults, in order to avoid breaking/bricking the device. This is implemented as the method override_security_bits.
This behaviour should be optional (and enabled by default, to be safe) and switchable via a command line option, so developers can implement their custom security settings.

Research direction
Start by locating the override_security_bits method and the command-line option definitions used when flashing Kinetis devices. Trace how the method is invoked and how options reach that path; done means the safe override remains enabled by default while developers can disable it to preserve custom security settings.
