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.

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 ! ).
