i have a question
granted, it has been a while since i have seen the film. but how exactly is that kid a security risk when all he can do is decode the encryption. It is not like he, or anyone that he gives the infomation to would have been able to work out what it was for. I mean, if you give someone information on how to decrypt something, but dont tell them what that something is, they probably wont be able to find it.
Also, couldnt they just change their encryptions. its not like anyone would believe that a kid, no matter what his skills, could have found out the identities of several undercover agents by solving a problem in a puzzle book.
then again, I could have missed or forgotten some major plot point in my confusion when i first watched this film.
