looks like Private Investigator catalog equipment in the states. Big, clunky, and built to suit a million different uses. Dev board + sensors + 3g = a million different reconfigurable spy toys.
Although I hope it's a three-letter agency, because that'd make me a bit less frightened of them.
Also, I don't know why everyone is up-in-arms about the solder job quality. Rip apart a Chinese Futaba-knockoff RC transmitter, dash cam, or counterfeit Lenovo/Apple power-brick for similar quality (and that stuff is everywhere). All that anyone cares about is that it passed the bench test. (who cares if it burns up later?)
- kh_hk 12y agoAccording to the media article linked on the submission, the activist was stopped for a "routine search" of the car for more than one hour on the frontier with France by spanish national police (CNP). One week ago she was stopped again near the city were this convention took place. So yeah, even if this is private investigator grade hardware, according to the info available it would not surprise me if this was either CNP (police) or CNI (our joke version of the CIA).
- tsotha 12y agoWhy pay extra if you don't have to? Looks perfectly serviceable to me.
- kh_hk 12y agoWas pointing out we should not rule out any government agency just for the quality of the setup. I find it hard to believe that an activist would be targeted by a private investigator.
- tsotha 12y agoI agree, however "activist" is only part of her identity. This could easily be a jealous lover.
- comboy 12y agoIf you would be a three-letter agency, would you use some kind of electronics that look like they were installed by a three-letter agency?
