Constant battery drain

I recently got a 2008 Civic EX and it's constantly pulling 1/4 amp from the battery.
Key is out, car is off, and there are no visible lights on except the security system light.

Could the security system be pulling that much power?
If I don't drive for 2-3 days it totally kills the battery. Is this just "normal"?

Re: Constant battery drain

Start measuring current across individual fuses.
or just pull fuses until the draw stops and work from there
