So all right, the plot of Firewall is not fireproof (or airtight, as I described the plot of Flight Plan ). The readers who wrote me endless e-mails about the holes in the plot of the Jodie Foster thriller will be back at work on this one, telling me why the kidnapper should have known more about the security at Harrison Ford s bank, and why the subplot involving the dog sucks, and why an iPod can t do that.
Actually, an iPod can do that act as a backup hard drive, that is, although I don t know if its memory is equal to the customer database for a chain of banks. If it was only needed for the account numbers and passwords, it would probably be adequate. As to whether the kidnapper knew enough about the bank s security system, well, the proof is in the pudding, or the withdrawals.
