USA Busted Trying to Bug China's Presidential 767

Posted by chrisd on from the what-part-of-covert-didn't-you-get dept.

morcheeba writes "A new Boeing 767-300ER was refitted to become China's presidental aircraft. What goes into a plane like this? Besides the bedroom, sitting room, bath with a shower, there was a 48" TV, satellite communications, anti-missile defense systems and advanced avionics. And oh yeah, numerous high-tech listening devices. Wonder how those got in. Read the article at washingtonpost.com." CD: The question is, what was the bug in the headboard for?

    Alright I mean lets look at the past two articles here. AOL (the epitemy of newbiews) is going to buy RedHat. And now ... USA puts listening devices in a Hostile Nuclear Countries Presidential AirPlane????

    Ummmm I'm just waiting for the washingtonpost to actually post these stories in their paper before I believe them ... and I would really like to see other sources.

    Right now it's looking like someone is having fun with their systems and submitting the faked stories to slashdot. I mean really ... since when does slashdot link to any paper besides the (Registration Required) NY Times?

    So, a regime that murders tens of millions of the people it rules through forced starvation doesn't bother you, but when that regime demonstrates hypocrisy, you have a problem all of a sudden?

    I'm just boggling at the idea of "giving communism a bad name." It's like calling the Devil himself a "meanie".

    I wish that Chinese Gov't would educate themselves, have culture and manners...in particlular when it comes to gross human rights violations.

    this is why i am glad that i understand why so many people are glad with what happened some months ago

    If you are talking about how your stupid, arrogant pilot flew a super sonic jet into a prop plane, and then your government duped you into thinking that somehow a prop plane could run into a jet for some malicious reason, and you *believed* it.....
