I guess my point is, ultimately, that while this may be a worry, I'm somewhat MORE worried about those backpack nukes--no need to worry if your MIT-trained EE is up to snuff or not (hey, warped thought--maybe he was an affirmative action graduate :o)

Suitcase nukes would have a much better "Oobie." (That's computer industry slang for OOBE, "Out of the Box Experience." A good Oobie lets you just plug the thing in the wall and fire it up, while a bad one requires you to have a PhD in electrical engineering and ANOTHER PhD in software engineering to get the infamous C:>_ on your screen :o)
