   See in Star Trek how there's always an auto-destruct sequence, and the captain can shut it down with a password? Do you think you could just fillibuster it to stop the ship exploding?

   I.e. everyone just says 'I am Picard, my password is password123', over and over?

   And if not, then couldn't anyone *stop* the override (even if Picard gives his password) by simply shouting nonsense over him in a nihilistic DoS attack?

     @malin in theory you could just shout spam over him, but in practice the computer somehow has perfect ability to perform source separation and speaker identification.

     @icedquinn
     If the computer can identify him, what's the password for?

     Is it all security theatre? I wouldn't put it past Star Fleet.
