I posted that because just earlier this morning I was engaged in
a conversation about off-shore manufacturing and how quickly
some identical/similar things appear as new products from other
manufacturers or in other countries.
My argument was along the lines that if a US company elects
to have a foreign manufacturer make it's product, it seems almost
impossible to keep the design/proprietary aspects of it secret.
And despite contractual agreements, $ has a way to copy.
The military says it keeps control over manufacturing... maybe so
But hacking is not mecessarily limited to CIA operations.
