He lives in BelAir and commutes to Hawthorne ?? Give me a break... that was ridiculous 30 years ago and still is. One word, listen closely... MOVE. Everyone seems to think it's normal to drive these ridiculous long commutes and it's actually a symptom of a screwed up society in love with their crappy cars. Try living closer to work and walk there, or ride your golf cart or something.
Well, the thing has to be network connected so that software updates can be pushed out... TSA or their contractor certainly are not going to fly from airport to airport to shove a floppy into these things when they need upgrading, and you're not going to trust the local yokels in MiddleofKnowhere USA to do the upgrade... so of course they can be hacked, and of course the data can be uploaded to TSA central ( or that DHS facility that helped out so much during Katrina ! ).
Guess the Feds don't think that old Osama Bin Missing and the other AQ youth are going to do anything anytime soon. I mean otherwise, why would they pull all these agents off of real Homeland Security stuff like hunting terrorists and go for the real important stuff like shutting down warez sites ??
I don't have a lot of sympathy for the warez guys, but give me a break.. there's gotta be something else that these FBI agents can be doing rather than screwing around with the school district headquarters in Deer Valley AZ and other "hot beds"..
Ah.. but they did it before... Lots of agents in LV back in July of 2001 arresting someone who gave a talk on PDF reader. It's good that nothing else happened that summer.... Oh wait ! Something did !
