    Not just spying, but flying into US airspace and pointing listening devices at government facilities and military bases

    The sneaky Chineses are listening to our troops with microphones at twice the cruising altitude of a commercial jet. I'm literally screaming and crying under my bed right now.

      Pretty sure you can get closer than 60,000 feet to any military base by just driving up to it in a car. Weird how the Chinese can’t manage to get a single spy with a recording device to drive around the perimeter of a base, they have to do elaborate balloon hijinx

        Imagine how many half-second snippets of conversations it could capture as it was carried by the wind at 46kph/29mph.
