$15K? They could save a lot of money using GNU SDR and some inexpensive
hardware attachment. Damn liberals wasting all our hard-earned tax payer
money!

There's an English version of this Interactive Graphic page, too:

Also, a complete set of all the pages from the alleged catalogue is
available on a single page, via

The unit costs are pretty stiff for most of the gadgets but some of
them appear to be free. Anyway: When can we expect OpenBSD support for
these devices?

That's just a summary article about Applebaum's 30C3 talk.  I don't
know if any part of the English-language press has picked up on
this in equivalent detail, but Der Spiegel has published part of
the NSA's actual 2008 spy gear catalog that makes for interesting
reading, including such tidbits as unit cost and development status:

http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/interaktive-grafik-hier-sitzen-die-spaeh-werkzeuge-der-nsa-a-941030.html

Just click on the marked spots on the image map to pop up individual
galleries.  Don't miss the right part of the map.  You can ignore
the German text, which is just explanations for people who don't
know computers or English.

I'm particularly intrigued by the radar return bugs.

It's 2014, and somehow I've woken up in a cyberpunk novel.
