It would be a boring world if we ever ran out of conspiracy theories.

They can bounce lasers off the windows of your house and pick up conversations and what you’re watching. Tempest technology can pick up signals off your screens and recreate them on a monitor in front of them. I dont doubt they cant get this to work.

Well the Clinton’s are closing shop on April 15 but something tells me it will not be boring for them with Trump in office.

Need a lawn chair and popcorn.

Interesting and Scary as far as the levels of surveillance we already have. Orwellian and Brave New World on steroids.

Per BAE website seems like their goal is DE deflection and RF reception. Doesn’t read like a civilian application. Navy already has some of their deproducts it says.

There will always be a reason to have human intelligence on the ground. Spies will be needed.

the same people that built the baggage system at DIA that never did work

Well, that sparked my interest. Since I have no idea why the Defense Intelligence Agency would need a baggage system, I had to Google this. And I found this interesting article:

The Failed Project of Denver International Airport

It is a good object lesson for acquisitions professionals everywhere. More importantly, it can also be taken as a analogy for leftist utopianism. The left always wants to go full bore ahead with these schemes to change the entire society and economic structure in the belief that they will be able to make a perfect society. However, the fact that the type of economic/social structure they envision has never worked, and that there isn't a single feasibility study showing it could work does not phase them in the least. Leftists utopians and the Denver city planners all show the same kind of hubris.

I wish the Brits could make up their mind. We’re all going to be DEAD in 50 years due to Global Warming (in their little world, at least), so why discuss this?
