    I do think that USB would not be a good choice, considering how frequently they’ve been implicated in malicious actions. I mean, USB as the bus would be fine, but, it should use a more esoteric connector.

      Yeah, it’s all fun and games until private Doug plugs his compromised phone into the fire control computer USB port to charge it.

      They could always use a USB pinout on a proprietary connector I guess.

        Yeah. I’d go with something like USB over D-Sub (both for practicality and the word play). It’s a nice sturdy connector and would be easy to service, etc due to the large pin size.

      Be like Verizon with those in home cell signal devices and use the form factor of HDMI but with USB cords in it.
