You seem to have a total misunderstanding about the threats this person faces.

If your job is running seminars about IT security to random companies, taking the projector with you to the bathroom is ridiculous and your clients will think you're a tin foil hat weirdo to boot.

Of course, if you're Snowden or Assange, your threat landscape is quite different and this would not be paranoid at all.



The person does security seminars to major companies and connects his presentation hardware to hundreds of these companies on their internal network?

His projector probably runs Android 7 (probably unsigned with who knows what mystery extras!). It would be an excellent attack vector.


No, he doesn't connect anything, that's why he has his own projector and cables. And if he did, most companies would be much more concerned about the risk they present to company networks.


Yeah also anxiety disorders are a thing. It's entirely possible this person thinks/fears they may face threats that they actually don't.
