That is exactly why the globalist want to ratify the TPP, TTIP, and TISA so that their corporate rights are protected everywhere but local labor rights can be litigated out of existence.

"no one knows how they work."

Shut up. We sure as hell DO KNOW how neurons work. We've even built artificial ones. https://hacked.com/swedish-sci...

It seems that this group managed to spread their malware via USB sticks. The modern equivalent of floppy disk viruses. But in all of the classified networks that I've seen, you can bring your USB drive into the secure area, but it can't be removed. So even if I managed to get my malware on a machine and then somehow got the sensitive data onto some sort of external media, I still don't have anything useful. Not that I wouldn't want to defend against the malware, but it seems that the air gap really is doing it's job.

There are ways for a machine to transmit information other than a wire, that can be detected by other devices. The infected air-gapped machine could send information out through its speakers that a microphone elsewhere could hear. It could flash its screen in binary in the middle of the night that someone outside the building might see through a window. It can raise and lower its power usage through various means that might be detected at the power feed. There was even an article a month ago talking about changing the heat output of the air-gapped machine that could be detected by the thermal sensors in a nearby computer. And there are even more that I won't go into.

So there are ways to send information out even if the USB drive doesn't leave.
