Meh - Washuu's time is better spent elsewhere. Let HAL do the electronic spoofing.
Once the veil of secrecy is lifted - and too many of us have ideas that will blow the secret wide open - we could just set up a permanent portal system between the Customs zones at SAT, LAX, PNS, BOS, YOW, YUL, DUB, and anywhere else we might have an apartment manager, biometric-locked so that only displacees and managers could use it (at least until the airlines agree to be phased out). When we want to visit, we do what everybody else does: go to the airport, go through customs, make a trip, and catch a cab from the destination airport to the people we want to see. We just won't have to put up with the airline flight, unless we're going some place not on the network (New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Tokyo... Oh, dear - Tokyo. Better add the International Terminal at HND, just because.)
