Work transparently. Don't hide it in a bottle. When it's complete, more times than not, it shouldn't have a top case. If it needs a case, no external wires should be visible.
The personal anecdotes were cool and all, but I'm not sure how you can work any more transparently than a gatorade bottle. The things are clear plastic. If there was a quantity of explosive in it, it'd be visible. So, the only "valuable lesson" the kid and his parents learned is that the populace doesn't have a damn clue what explosives look like, or how much of them it takes to do damage (ie, enough to be easily visible).
Doesn't say they don't have hardpoints. There's a difference. FWIW I did RTFA. Too bad you don't know the difference between a hardpoint and an actual weapon.
Paying to keep this bad boy in the air won't come cheap.
I wonder how trigger-happy the US Airforce might get if they stumbled across an SU-27 over US soil though... does it still have weapon hardpoints on the wings? TFA doesn't really address that, it just says "They don't have any weapons."
And you're advocating security through magic? I fail to see where he suggested using weak encryption. The security conscious tend to assume "opponents" of nearly unlimited resources, and in that scenario any encryption can be cracked.
