Transparency Grenade Collects and Leaks Sensitive Data

Zothecula writes "If you thought WikiLeaks was a disruptive idea, the transparency grenade is going to blow you away. This tiny bit of hardware hidden under the shell shaped like a classic Soviet F1 hand grenade allows you to leak information from anywhere just by pulling a pin. The device is essentially a small computer with a powerful wireless antenna and a microphone. Following 'detonation,' the grenade intercepts local network traffic and captures audio data, then makes the information immediately available online."

Not like Wikileaks, not disruptive by guspasho · 2012-02-21 09:50 · Score: 3, Funny

As far as I can tell this idea is neither disruptive nor in any way similar to Wikileaks. Am I missing something?

The grenade would report back absolutely no information.
