2. Skyfall - Q Hooks Up Silva's Computer To The MI6 Mainframe
If the fictional MI6's security procedures are anything like the real life counterpart of MI5, then the English public should probably be quite anxious. When Bond takes Raoul Silva - an ex-MI6 operative who is now a cyber-terrorist - prisoner and incarcerates him back at headquarters, he takes it upon himself to hand Q Silva's bulky computer. With MI6 rapidly running out of ideas on how to locate the agents that Raoul has threatened to kill, Bond and his team decide to hook Silva's laptop up their mainframe in an effort to break its code and decipher its information. Now, we're no experts on international security and computer viruses, but surely, hooking a known cyber-terrorist's laptop up to the mainframe of the secret service is about as intelligent a choice as trying to make tea with a teapot made out of chocolate. A strange analogy yes, but the point still stands. Why in the world would a secret service not suspect a criminal that specialises in computer hacking to rig his computer with malicious software. The guys at MI6 certainly needed some more training for that assignment.
