MINIMUM SECURITY FOR NEW ENTRIES

LiveJournal does provide the means to set a minimum security level for all your future posts. For example, setting this option to Friends-Only or Private will prevent you from accidentally posting a public entry that you meant to post at a protected level.

I have mine set to friends only, and it can be done :)
