A properly configured network connection is much much harder to hack than people seem to think. Modern encryption is effectively impossible to break. Knocking over a guy on a bike and stealing his bag, on the other hand, is quite simple. <br></br>

<p>If you're working with hd video, you can quickly get close. 2 hours of uncompressed 1080p at 24fps is just over 1 TB. Toss in extra stuff for effects, and other data for editing and you can probably get to 1 TB with video that's a lot shorter than 2 hours.</p>

Not everything is data. Good old fashioned 3-dimensional items still need to be delivered in a hurry. When sometime in the future you can email a toner cartridge then IRL messengers might be on the way out.

There's an old saying about how nothing beats the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes driving down the highway. It's still true even with fast connections. Having a messenger take a 1TB hard drive across town is way faster than trying to transfer it using the typical commodity connections.
