This goes deep. I've seen people say things like "US customs are too good, this wouldn't get past us" and nope that is definitely not true. This was all based on a lot of trust that is now broken.

    A sobering post from Bunnie. The danger is that this opens the door to ANY electronic device being turned into an explosive. Laptops, game players, watches, even healthcare wearables.

    He tries to point out that the technology is easy and cheap to obtain, is practically untraceable, and can be used by both nation-states and rogue groups.

    Like finding out that someone had found a way to add a non-detectable poison in the world bread wheat supply.

    He’s right that it will have wide-reaching impact.

    Israel is capable of using disinfo to get hezbollah scared into using pagers, and then supplying them via taiwan and BAC Consulting (Hungary), then how am I supposed to believe they can’t avoid killing kids with bombs?
