[ale] OT - Replacement Gate Remote

[Scott Plante]

I wasn't making a suggestion for his particular need--I was asking about the security, or lack of, with these gate openers. Can someone just go buy one of these "cloning remotes" and stand by a gate when some enters, and have their own remote that easily? The build your own suggestion was tongue-in-cheek.

Talk to a neighbor to borrow theirs for 10 min?
