Wouldn't be surprised if TSA told him to "Forget what you saw and don't worry about it since it's totally secure."

A problem we are seeing a lot of is less interest in keeping the software up-to-date on "dedicated-purpose" machines like the Rapiscan or the Kronos devices. This is although the organisations like the TSA buy or lease them for a princely sum per unit, run them for years on end and rely on them to perform the organisation's essential duties.
Personally I would encourage a different culture with software maintenance for these devices such as a "secure by design, always updated" approach like with most computer operating systems.
