In my business we have this little saying:
"Security By Obscurity"
It's secure because people don't know where it is...
***************
Transport command and control systems are commonly designed by engineers with little exposure or knowledge about security using commodity electronics and a little native wit.

Security? Bah. Nobody will figure it out if we can't!!

it always kind of chagrins me when things go wrong like that.
I totally applaud the kid for setting a goal and reaching it!
Too bad there had to be accidents/injuries.
If only he'd gone to the transportation board and shown them what he was capable of, perhaps he'd have a lucrative career instead of a juvie record.

This reminds me of an episode of Pete and Pete where the younger Pete gets a universal garage door remote, or he makes one, and during a road trip uses it to mess with people.
I really hope you all at least mildly remember Pete and Pete....

I've wanted to make my own keycard for garage access in my building. It'd be so sweet to come and go as I please and not have to pay. I wonder if I could make something to lift the gate as well but I'm not sure it operates on something like that.
