Yeah, a throwaway computing device in the network closet, which he then pulled the data from over the net (or, even better, which then uploaded the data to another server) would have dramatically reduced the risk he took.

It's 20/20 hindsight, though. It's obvious from the way he behaved that he didn't think this was anywhere near as big a deal as it's turned out to be. And I might have easily made the same mistake.

Well, he's accused of hiding his face from surveillance cameras by holding his bike helmet up to his face and looking through the ventilation holes. You don't do that if you don't think it's a big deal, no?

A bicycle helmet? I might hold a helmet over my face if I were joking around or playing a prank. If I were serious (though I highly doubt I'll end up in such a situation), I would be using something other than a bicycle helmet.
