We all remember the furor about NSA intercepting communications, right? That's just the tip of the iceberg, apparently:

Check this out for an overview.

How about intercepting laptops ordered online and installing spyware?

Incredible!

Incognito told us about that awhile ago:

*You've gone incognito*. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close *all* open incognito windows. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.
*Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:*

* Websites that collect or share information about you
* Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
* Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for
free smileys
* Surveillance by secret agents
* People standing behind you

Wendy, what's your point? We shouldn't be bothered that our government is intercepting mail-order hardware and installing malware and trackers and such on it before sending it on its way, for example?

I was teasing.

Incognito was teasing (hopefully).

But prescient.

from what i read, they were intercepting hardware on its way to 'suspect' individuals. but the definition of 'suspect' hasn't been clarified to my liking yet.
