TBH I am surprised attackers do not better destroy their electronic equipment just before they carry out their attack. Pop your phone and SSD/flash drives in the microwave on high for a few minutes is pretty much going to destroy all evidence on them, and if not then chances are you are dead anyway so whatever data they might be able to get off will most likely be useless to them anyway.

- Tharkun 10y agoNot sure about banning maths, but back when I was in school I had to suffer through a couple of maths teachers who were so bad that they might as well have been trying to instill a life long hatred for maths. Wow, that sentence got away from me.
- dmichulke 10y agoIt's in the interest of the terrorists to get WhatsApp banned. Terrorists just use something else while the populace feels gradually more oppressed/controlled/... In a way they get something for nothing.
- sergior 10y agoI think this is not about terrorists (that is just a side effect), but for state ability to know what people think and talk about. That is very powerful thing to have.
- clubm8 10y agoWouldn't putting a bunch of metal in a microwave be risky? I'm picturing something exploding and sending shards of glass into bystanders. (Then again, a 4 Lions moment where an intrepid terrorist slits his own throat with a molten SSD wouldn't be the worst thing in the world...)
