How could having an always-on-always-listening-always-watching-and-probable-hacker's-primary-future-target-device in the army be a good thing ?

It's been said again and again that you can control Kinect so it isn't always listening or always watching. 

@ the bolded: As opposed to what? Every other internet connected device ever made? Not to mention if they have the Xbox connected to an armed forces internet network (which they would if they are on a base), then I'd say good luck to any hacker that tries that.


Backdoor collect informations from internal connection, than send it when on global net.

Same for others console for that, of course, but I still feel like they are thousands of way to use kinect (but that's probably cause every hardware specialised guy in my school does crazy stuff with kinect (like hand driven drone))

What I meant by "good luck to any hacker that tries that." is any hacker that tries to hack into a military network is going to have a rough time for pretty obvious reasons. :-p

I just don't see Kinect being abused any more than any other popular, internet connected device out there. Sure it's always a possibility, but a pretty unlikely one in the grand scheme of things.
