I guess the question I am asking is how do I know someone hasn’t placed a bomb inside as is now happening with other devices in the world? (See current news)
You don't. Try not to piss off any national governments, especially unhinged ones (Russia, China, US, Israel, etc.)
Israel gets away with killing Americans now too... I don't think others can do that without serious FO
I mean Saudi Arabia showed that American citizens lives only matter when they align with national interests years and years ago
Damn... That's even a better example tbh.
But yeah... Big dick daddy only gonna daddy protector shit if you are on the right side of the propaganda.
Yeah the best example is probably the Japanese internment camps during WW2. You don't have 'rights', you have privileges. Rights can't be taken away.
Americans but not like that 🤡
That's easy. Just fly somewhere and bring it in your carry-on, airport security will let you know.
LOL, no they won't. They'll just make you throw out your nail clippers and water, while routinely missing shit that's actually dangerous.
You learn enough about electronics to identify things that shouldn't be in there, and then you open up and analyze your devices.
Alternatively, you could not become involved with an organization that is at war with a powerful country who has a capable spy/espionage agency.
A pretty flippant answer coming from someone living under a western government
Just buy a small, industrial CT scanner and scan your device. Compare the results to a device that you know hasn't been tampered with.
Omg I need this in my living room.
I'm not sure I can handle $75,000 per year, do you think that 30 day free trial would be long enough to pull this plan off?
Until you dismantle your devices, you don’t know, but unless a terrorist state like Isn’treal wants you dead, they almost definitely don’t have bombs in them. It’s not something I’m the least bit worried about.
