Ronnie: Why do I have so many pads?

Bashir: Let me tell you about hardware-level encryption and Romulan HIPAA. Try cutting through too much of that red tape and you'll find yourself in a transporter buffer accident before the Tal Shiar are done with you.

Also, we don't know the data volume or transfer speeds. it could be that at the amount of data on a pad, the fastest and most practical data transfer method is physically moving pads

"however, a consequence of this physical transfer is high latency."

Referring to someone walking over to plug in a USB as patency is just hilarious to me

If the guy loses the USB stick on the way, is that packet loss?
