    This assumes on critical item, that terrorists are infact targeting airplanes. Lack of falling/exploding/crashing planes and lack of disrupted attacks show that isn't and ongoing concern. We have greatly reduced the capacity of the Islamic Terrorists to project their warfare into our homeland. They don't seem to be pushing even probing attacks at our aircraft. As you stated there are many, many soft targets. Yet, none of them are being hit. Granted when they stop fighting internally in Asia and Africa we will have a stronger, better armed, more resourceful opponent attacking us. The Islamist's aren't dumb, but they are religious fanatics. They will find weakness and they will exploit it, but I doubt they are seriously considering planes any longer.

    One would imagine that drugs have a much higher margin then jammers. They certainly have a much more valuable market. The Juice is worth the Squeeze there. With Jammers, idk, but probably not so much.

    Jammers / Spoofers should only be available for military usage, no exceptions.

    Careful, any Libertarian nut worth his tin foil hat is now going to claim that ownership and operation should now be protected by the 2nd Amendment, so they can pretend that they have the ability to rise up in rebellion.

    I fought in Afganastan, there was some basis, like Syria, but it was kinda thin. The vast majority of the bad guys came from the House of Saud, but there isn't real fidellity on wha state actors were involved. Afganastan certainly tried to shelter Osama after the fact, but was protecting him from procectution a valid cause for the longest war in US history?

    Yeah Bush 2 was a doucher. But Obama has followed suit. Afganastan had about as much validation as Syria. I'll bow to your comments on invasion being the wrong term. How about Act of War against a nation that posed no threat?

    We violated their airspace and blew shit up. That is invasion. Our "allies" won on the ground. Syria, he asked congress for permission to retaliate against them for using chemical weapons, he was shot down. It was a pretty big deal.

    I appreciate that if party affiliation clouds how we use words. But if Bush 2 did it, would you have approved?

  23. Re:stupid on The Computer Security Threat From Ultrasonic Networks · · Score: 1

    Better yet, you can remotely execute pre-installed code. Think less of information gathering and more of weaponizing.

    If I may be really long winded, let's imagine a system where there is a secure machine that is air gapped by say 30" from a non secured machine. The secure machine has privilleged access to $Doomsday_weapon_001, let's say a missle or better yet the control surface of a critical peice of infrastructure. Once infection has occured, and a payload delivered the two machines can lay in wait. At a particular time, like superbowl, the unsecure machine tells the secure machine to execute a preplanned attack using $Doomsday_weapon_001. The conversation can be really short less then a second or so, and boom goes the dynamite.

    Leaking information onto secure systems is alot less complex then leaking information off. Why keylog when you can actully use the asset directly.
