No, they shouldn't have to spend their personal time brushing up on the latest tech...
It's part of their JOB. They should be trained on the clock. You can't possibly tell me that these guys can't take half an hour out of a week, to be briefed on new gadgets that passengers might be carrying.
Hell, it even works both ways. They should need to know this stuff not only to make inspections more efficient, but to have a better understanding of what may be out of place. If you're acquainted with an iPod, or MBA, or Kindle, or whatever, not only do you know what it is, you know what's out of place on it if it's been modified.
