Knife is infinitely more accessible and equally effective, no? Protecting a cable I'm motivated to investigate doesn't even register as a priority. If it is: electrical tape. Once I cleared it, I may as well use it. Either I have a legitimate concern and should consider my cable source... or seek psychological help. Who's scanning Red Team cables and coming out surprised? This seems more demonstrative (read: advertising, perhaps fear-mongering) than practical. Needlessly aggrandizing in presentation. It's the kind of thing you solve without expense or effort, lest it snowball. Easier - and arguably better - to replace an untrustworthy cable than get the absolute truth. I don't send DCOPs out with the tester, splicer, and so on. I tell them to get a replacement cable. Once I have a reason to suspect it, that is - the foundation of this article is shaky.
