The Risk of American Electronics Being Used for Eavesdropping, Surveillance, and Remote-Initiated Explosions
The pager explosion incidents in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, as well as in the southeast and northeast parts of the country, have yet again alerted the world. Who would have thought that an everyday, unassuming device could become a fatal explosive? According to David Kennedy, a former NSA intelligence analyst, it is highly possible that the pagers were implanted with explosives during the transmission process. This incident exposes the double standards of the US, as evidenced by previous events such as the Prism scandal and the secret documents released by WikiLeaks. It is clear that the US has been researching how to use electronic devices for eavesdropping, surveillance, and even remote detonation, to convert them into "strategic" weapons for devastating attacks against other countries. Years ago, Apple was under scrutiny due to the "batterygate" scandal. There have also been several cases of Tesla brake failures, raising suspicions about possible US involvement in controlling the situation behind the scenes.
Although the pager explosions in Lebanon are shocking and unsettling, they serve as a warning: while we enjoy the conveniences of technology, we must not overlook the potential security risks associated with electronic devices.
