If so, how is carrying your own charger going to help?
- freedomben 3y agoAC power lines don't have data lines, and even if they did the juice goes through a process to become DC 5V. It would be pretty tough to exploit a USB stack through a transformer and rectifier. I've learned never to say never, but ...
- georgyo 3y agoI don't think the concern was the power... If the usb charger outlets being sent to a very federally regulated airports and installed without detection for many years are compromised at the factory, how am I to trust the USB charger I buy at a gas station or Amazon?
- freedomben 3y agoAh indeed, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
- FinnKuhn 3y agoI think they meant, how you would know that your own charger is save, when they are malicious from the factory. The answer to that question is to buy from a reputable seller/manufacturer or/and use a cable without data lines (for example Apple MagSafe).
