> The idea that they've Jason Bourned his computer is absurd paranoid blather. I think you have a miss-calibrated idea of how hard/technical/uncommon/expensive this is. This is the IT equivalent of collecting DNA, not Jason Bourne stuff. Funnily enough the annual National Technical Investigators Association conference is in Seattle this year. Tacoma PD has at least one Stingray. Tacoma. That's a few orders of magnitude more expensive and complex than a little usb drive. Want to see the FinFisher price list? https://wikileaks.org/spyfiles/docs/DREAMLAB_2011_FinFPric_en.html https://wikileaks.org/spyfiles/docs/DREAMLAB_2011_FinFPric_e... I wonder what the "1x Auto-Exec USB Dongle" or "10x Activated FinUSB Dongles" lines refer to? Why wonder, you can read the catalog. They have identified a number of western LEO's on that customer list, no American ones yet but FinFisher is just one company and there are FinFisher command and control servers in the US. Anyway, I'm responding just because I am interested in the subject and not because I think a dialogue is going to happen here and that's not the best use of my time.
