You're likely mistaken. The device whose ports we are talking about epoxying was referred to by david_shaw. Noone in the thread has speculated as to the type or model of device. The only information we have about the device comes from david_shaw:

"I can't give specific details (for obvious NDA-related reasons), but this application was a large device that interfaced with mission-critical hardware -- and ran Windows XP embedded."

London has a very dense CCTV deployment. Look at the crime-reduction studies that have been done since their deployment. It'll be enlightening.

Also, I am now on notice that you will not likely work for a bank. Thank you for that information, I guess.

And, uh, my bank is a lot better than yours, it seems. Shop around!
