I actually never read the wiki article. 😃 I can’t say what scanners s person is going to be carrying around with them. My only point was that the older systems are super easy to mimic. Also, my parents had an older system like yours. They used to have a little key box on the side of the garage, where you inserted a key, turned it and you could open the garage without the remote. I showed my dad one day how easy it was to unscrew the two screws holding the faceplate on, then take the screwdriver and shorted the connection and viola! I made the door open. He promptly had that box removed.
