Mr. Allan, considering all the important tests, they "didn't" do...

I wonder if this is why the company didn't make a bigger deal out of this back when it happened?

I guess they knew the truth would eventually come out!

Of course, that's never stopped them before.

Mr Allan: Hotzone units are built to military standards to begin with, so passing a threat mitigation survey by an IA team would pretty much be a given:

Mr Allan, you left off the final sentence of the summary:

Executive Summary

Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration’s (CWID) Assessments Working Group (AWG), Information Assurance (IA) Team performed a high-level assessment Trial 6.42, HotZone 4010/4020 (HZ4010). This trial implemented mechanisms to provide assurance that the information processed by the vendor’s product was secure. These mechanisms appeared to be appropriate given the level-of-data and operating environment of the trial.

Information Assurance clearly looks for things that Hotzone does not include. It is a commercial product. It could have the military security built in with microcoding but it isn't currently in the product, so why submit to such a test?
