What he didn't say, but perhaps should have, is that it's lucky it was only iPads, the device least likely to bring in 
bad stuff due to "games, chat on Facebook and download who knows what", since Apple does know what. I really don't see 
his worry about lack of "antivirus protection and security patches" either. The post ought to be a celebration of the 
total control Apple maintains over iPad, followed by some "Thank the $DEITY people only bring iPads!".

But maybe it's not actually about the iPad, it just looked good in the title.
