Would it be cool to see the details? Yes, but it isn't neccessary. As regards the whole defence systems, it's vague and undefined notions anyway, based on Reed and Tony's respective intelligence, which are vague and undefined attributes in and of themselves. Since readers are assuming they have brilliantly elaborate defence systems why not assume Frank is good enough at infiltration to find a way to get around them.
    For me personally I wouldn't assume it because I think Reed is much much smarter.

    But if he did then he can. I can't argue with that.

    Exactly. This is the MU so if we are going to allow for genius' that invent time machines in minutes then I can stretch to tactically brilliant soldiers that can get past impregnable defences. TBH though, I can understand why Frank, as a much more grounded and realistic character, is so difficult to fit into the absurd fantasy world of the MU.

    That's part of the problem yeah.

    It's like imaging Macgyver trying to break into the Tardis.

    Just think how cool that episode would be, though. I am a fan of neither show but I would want to watch that. Macguyver could knock up a sonic screwdriver from a couple of biros and a rubber band easy.
