    I RTFA'ed and couldn't wrap my head around the first paragraph. My mom puts black duck eggs into the porridge she makes every other week or so. I wonder if that means I need to check around the house for dead drops or start questioning visitors about their national allegiances.

    So, you'd say this "security egghead" is a bit of a quack?

    I can get black duck eggs here in San Diego
     
    As if San Diego wasn't home to the largest base of the US Navy! Coincidence? I think not! My rates for security consultation are quite reasonable, I assure you.

    Exactly, and could someone please tell me how this gives the conclusion that it's a Chinese cyber espionage front? I mean, seriously?

    Inside the black eggs were USB drives with google's search algorithms. It's sloppy editing not to include that in the article, but it's even sloppier espionage on the restaurant's part to advertise that fact on the menu.

    Potential Chinese spy. Potential illegal immigrant. They all look the same to us here in Arizona.

    Also a canard.

    Israeli intelligence agents have established bagel bakeries all over the world as fronts for their industrial espionage operations.

    Think about it. Who can afford lox any more at those prices, unless there's some big money behind it?
