Back to the original question:
Where in the rulebook does it say that programs can be used during an
opponent's turn? I was under the impression that if the rulebook does not
explicitly say that an action can be performed at any time (as with runner
special traits, stingers, and intercepts), they can only be performed
during your own legwork phase.
