But keeping a jet aircraft from another nation is totally ok... got it :)

I can assure you FBI scanned it for secret cameras.

I feel like it is entirely plausible to miss something when scanning, I believe it is extremely plausible to miss something when scanning an entire jet aircraft, regardless of the skills of the personnel involved.

I mean "The Thing" wasn't detected for seven years. It's always possible to miss a listening device.

I feel like I had to have heard of this device before, but that article was a fascinating read - thank you!

I think people still think of China as a second tier sometimes, but from what I have seen their technology is likely at least equal to ours, and I would imagine the West and China both surpass each other in different technological categories.

Lol China is far superior to our tech. They get to manufacture everything we design. Then get to ponder on improvements. Not to mention their "students" in all our universities.

I think your client or instance is broken. Link without markdown:

Interesting. No idea what markdown means. Thanks.
