This just underlines the engineer's problem with making something secure, yet making sure every moron in the U.S. can plug it in and turn it on and have it basically work.

Well, it's really just another example of engineers doing the job right, only to then have a PHB of some ilk tell them, "Now I want to be able to watch this from my office or my cell phone or from home, etc." Where the Engineer exclaims, "Doh!" and does it because he/she's not paid to THINK.
The engineer shoud be paid enough (and educated enough) to tell their employer, "If I make it available to you, it's available to the internet,and (if we're in a vaguely rational county (eg, UK)) that would be illegal." So - No, I won't do that.
