Christopher and John's points regarding security, are well taken.
Concurrently, the hacker, innovator and hobby Maker communities are
actively playing with small, cheap, interactive IoT systems.
How might techie-ness and security understandings intersect?
Here’s a new announcement from Cooking Hacks.

4G + GPS Shield for Arduino and Raspberry Pi Tutorial (LTE / WCDMA /
HSPA+ / 3G / GPRS)
The new 4G shield for Arduino and Raspberry Pi enables the connectivity
to high speed LTE, HSPA+, WCDMA cellular networks in order to make
possible the creation of the next level of worldwide interactivity
projects inside the new "Internet of Things" era.
Most of the major cities are already turning their cellular networks to
the new 4G LTE and at the same time shutting down the old technologies
such as GPRS and GSM. 3G will survive a couple of years more but it is
planned to be completely shut off too. For this reason from Libelium and
our Open Source Division - Cooking Hacks - have decided to be the first
to offer to the Maker community the possibility of using the amazing 4G
cellular networks.
The new communication module is specially oriented to work with Internet
servers implementing internally several application layer protocols
which make easier to send the information to the cloud.
