1. Why would any security system be Matrix-accessible? I can't think of who would need to interface with a security host aside from the people who are in the building or area that it monitors.

2. Can a decker use the Control Slave operation to bypass a security door eqipped with keypads, cardreaders, etc?

A person working on-site would need to use their Electonics skills for such a task, but a decker seems to be able to use his Computer/Electronics average and then add hacking pool, giving deckers a really good advantage.

Please forgive me if these are dumb questions. I'm new here and I would understand that I'm an idiot. I've just started to incorporate decking into my runs and it doesn't all make sense.
