I was listening to Matt Bracken on Rumble, and Matt brought up point I had not considered.
Israel just demonstrated a capability that should make all of us pay attention: the state use of wireless devices to execute a mass time on target attack.
What if, in the future, someone does this to cell phones of MAGA voters? Or, to get at Elon Musk, they do this to Tesla cars?
I don't buy new phones very often. Rarely in fact. And this event makes me consider having to have the store open the phone to inspect the guts before I leave
Maybe that's why they make them so you can't open or remove the battery now
You would need to, at a minimum, x-ray the battery and other bulky components. Preferably with one of the fancy airport xrays that can tell you the material density.
