It's obvious that departments have these devices, and everyone assumes they know how they work and what they do. So then why the secrecy? If we know what they do and how they work and that law enforcement has them what are they hiding? I propose all this secrecy is to hide the fact that they can either update the baseband firmware OTA or exploit it OTA and basically root the phone. As an extra incentive to shut up if they disclose any info in court they stop getting new exploit updates and/or baseband updates.
