Hey msalzberg! Ya, of course they hooked up without physical access! They put on their tinfoil hats, hit they computers florescent purple Whoopee button and away they went!!
Don't ask ludicrous questions that you already know the answer to. Wake up and take a whiff of reality for a minute. A P.I.N. number for security is created exactly for the eventuality of preventing someone who HAS PHYSICAL POSSESSION of the item from gaining easy access to it. Just like a credit card or banking card. Figure it out pal, Joe Blow Bossman isn't afraid to leave his iPhone lying around on his desk from time to time because its P.I.N. protected and nobody can get into it and mess with his data. In walks Jimmy the Geek Employee with his Lucid Lynx equipped netbook. Bingo Bango Bongo and the Geek has copies of all Bossmans data. Bossman comes back in to find his iPhone lying right where he left it. And hes never going to know Jimmy got his data.
This is bloody terrible.
And yes, I have an iPhone 3G. Wake up chum.
