   Sounds like a potential attack vector for a compromised phone ... just saying ...

      This government rides on the wings of blackmail and secrets trading. This is obviously their source of power. They don't ever tried to hide the weekly insider trading and market manipulation.

      If you are somebody, would they try to install malware in your laptop (that they can take out of your sight and have full access for an hour while you are kept distracted answering silly questions)?. Maybe not, but we can assume a yes just to play safe.

      They had top secret documents in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago so everybody with access could read it (for a fee?). Russia paid for the weeding of the USA President's son. Trump is aggressively blocking an explanation to his real role in a hideous sex ring child honeypot built by Israeli spies to blackmail every rich people in US and Europe, etc, etc...

      Ordering somebody to fullfill a quote of poisoning 20 phones a day in the fly returning from Qatar would not even be a thing for them.

      That leads me to wonder. Lets imagine that a journalist dd clone two laptops identical, pass a frontier with one of them, don't do anything with it, and use diff on both after returning home. Do you think that any potential malware would pop or is totally undetectable?
