LOL Just last night on the tube, two guys enter a house and one places a
plugged cord into a Caddx NX-108 keypad.  The cord has a black box attached
with a numerical readout.  This provides the user code before the delay runs
out.  The guy enters the code and disarms the system.  All less than 45
seconds.

I sure wish the keypad DID have a socket that connected to the data buss so
I would have the ability to plug my laptop into for programming.  Too bad
this was a fictional program.
