When you explain to kids that hacking is not like in the movies, that
it doesn't take 10 seconds of typing very quickly, but that you snuck
into the building 3 months prior, hid a fake access point and jammer
behind a ceiling tile timed to activate at the exact moment.... they
say "that's cheating!".
Part of the mind wants it to be magic. So they don't see that its
just grift, craft, shlep, patience and a shitload of luck.
