Obviously someone who knows what's up.

I think the chain of custody cannot be emphasized enough. With current DREs, the chain starts at development, goes through manufacture, transportation, warehousing, testing, transportation to voting places, election day, and tabulating. Finding a weak link in that incredibly long chain is as easy as finding a weak spot in a roll of toilet paper that was left in the rain. Especially given the risk/reward problem, as you mention.
