That is exactly one of the benefits of '3D printing'. Can you actually go to the car manufacturer and say "give me 6 more inches in the trunk"? Nope, didn't think so - and you never will. But if you had the plans to print one it would be a relatively simple operation to do. (Engineering limitations notwithstanding)
Please keep in mind the posts above about 'rapid prototyping != downloading' - complex mechanical items are just not viable, now or probably in the near future. Though not so very many of our modern household goods are super complex in that way.
It's a nice idea that has to find its niche. You are not going to be able to print out your own jet, nor your own crystal glassware, and most people would be wasting their time printing their own (say) desk. Personalised glasses frames, earphones / hearing aids, seat bases, telephone cases, handles, knobs, shoes, sporting goods, parts for broken gadgets - hell yes.
ATMs are even more closed than Voting Machines. All a company has to do is convince the bank that their product is secure and there is no one else to answer to.
Simple banker logic proving that ATMs are still secure -
Since:
Department produces insecure product = Department closed by company.
Therefore:
Department not closed by company = department produces secure product.
QED.
"If the ATMs were as screwed as our voting machines, we's fuck those guys off too!"
so each 'time period' the AP is sending out the one real SSID, and a whole bunch of random SSIDs. So after a few time periods you can build up a collection of different SSIDs - one of which will be seen significantly more than all the rest: this is the real SSID.

Thanks!
