And what network is it going to connect with?
Inductive scanning.
Much like RFID chips give up thir information when scanned, why not a powered
down pc too? Surely it's just a matter of the power applied to the scan?
Several years ago it was reported that the ability had been obtained to scan
a football stadium's worth of people in a few seconds and get a reliable read
out of all present, using handheld scanners and RFID chips. That was a "Linux
being deployed" story.
I do think that the various Gnu licences need updating to include strict
clauses stopping their use in drones or any devices which can be used to
monitor people without their being aware or kill them or in anything that
compromises people's right to privacy, security or freedom.
Re Iran - it was claimed that their networks were shielded and secure from
outside interference, yet the stuxnet virus got in. Either it was in the
hardware to begin with, just waiting for a time/date/activation condition to
arrive; or it was put there by someone undercover; or the ability to remotely
infect exists.
