That's me, Sam, teaching young Steve about computer security in 1881.

Steve was a clever lad. He built a secure communication system using smoke signals, and sent them across the country in a steel pipe. He did not hold with the new-fangled telegraph, too easy to intercept messages. Messages in the pipe took three weeks to arrive, though. After the hacksaw was invented, security was lost. This is where the phrase "hacking" came from.
