Sounds like the US use gifts, pins and burner phones to spy on foreign governments
I mean, there is a history of a lot of nations doing this.
had to surrender various items collected during the trip, including staff burner phones, credential badges, and lapel pins issued by China.
They think the Chinese are doing that.
Because that’s what they do…
But keeping a jet aircraft from another nation is totally ok… got it :)
I can assure you FBI scanned it for secret cameras.
The FBI missed a passive bug that hung in the office of the US ambassador to Russia for 7 years.
Don’t count them out yet
Fascinating stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)
This is old ASF, if you don’t think we can’t detect these then 😂😂😂
tech is tech. if it’s able to not be detected then it’s able to be not detected now.
Why do you think it works like that? They know what it is and how it works, so they know what to look for.
Who “they”? Security services are not the hive, It’s not like everyone knows everything pr never misses anything. Or do you think it’s like a game where you unlock the “passive listening device countermeasures” technology and suddenly 100% bugs across the country are found and new bugs can’t be planted?
…and secret whiskey stashes…
👀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 wasn’t sure if this was going to be a radio interference post, or John Carpenter
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 isn’t handling the markdown correctly. Link without markdown:
Interesting. No idea what markdown means. Thanks.
By “the FBI scanned”, they probably mean “We told Kash Patel that there was a six pack of Miller hidden somewhere in the plane and let him have at it.”
Right? I was like “Faith in the FBI? Someone didn’t watch the Mens Hockey gold medal match…”
One of the most sensible things I’ve seen from the administration.
Kinda surprised Trump was OK with it tbh…
Oh you know he didnt have to throw his special gifts away…,
If they don’t want it on the plane, you can always just post it home.
Right? I was gonna say, there is no way he isn’t keeping is 44k gold plated listening device.
Did China gift him kids?
China called him out by having a bunch of little kids cheering, the kids were the only group he stopped to be creepy at.
FR?
I love/hate that we even have to ask.
Probably had to tie him down cause he thought that they loved him so much.
I didn’t think they had anyone with half a brain still working there
Pretty sure this is SOP. At least, it was before these idiots took over.
Not sure why this is news, unless this didn’t occur to these morons before now and they think it’s a Very Good, Big Brain Idea™ that was obvious to literally everyone else.
Cavity checks all around boys
Yah… Duh… Thats how espionage works…
China would tell their diplomats to do the same returning from the US.
Throw Away = give them all to Trump
