How is a an airport xray scanner maker supposed to participate in that iterative process for improving security if they aren't in a mass market? No security researchers took interest for a long time till Rios purchased a scanner. "It runs an outdated windows 98 operating system" just shows how little anyone cares, even if Rios would like it to show how awesome he is as a researcher or how awful windows 98 is as an OS.
Also unrelated, how to factor a large prime to break RSA 1024 quickly is a secret too.

Hold competitions for people to try and break it in an isolated part / mockup of an airport. Donate one to your local hackerspace and ask them to have fun with it. Possibilities are endless; the only things needed is understanding the points in Schneier's essay and a little courage to do the right thing.
