That's me, Sam, teaching young Steve about computer security in 1861.

I did not hold with the new-fangled telegraph, too easy to intercept messages. I built a secure communication system using smoke signals, and sent them across the country in a steel pipe. Messages in the pipe took three weeks to arrive, though.

Steve was a clever lad. He invented the hacksaw, and bypassed my security system. This is where the word "hacking" came from.
