If somebody compromises the kiosk itself, then all of the security precautions in the world are meaningless
as they can be bypassed at point of entry. If the kiosks dial on demand (not always connected to internet),
then it is a little more secure since that makes it extremely difficult to attack them remotely. But people would
still have access to the physical kiosk itself. All it would take is a kiosk in a location that isn’t exactly well monitored.
Here is a link to a presentation from Defcon about hacking Internet kiosks as an example. If the kiosks are
connected to the internet full time, some of these exploits could still be used:

Windows itself is a very insecure operating system. If that is the core OS on the Kiosks, then there will be ways
to exploit it. Even if they take every security precaution imaginable, all it takes is somebody with enough time on
their hands and they will find a way in. Once they have access to the OS, they can plant whatever they want to
on the system (keyloggers, packet sniffers, memory dumpers, Trojans / other malware, etc.)
