1. Who manufactures and builds the chips that go into military systems such as computers,routers, planes, weapons,drones, videos, microphones,phones,satellites, etc ??
2. When the US goes to build a top secret facility or system does the US manufacture ALL the chips or are there any outsourced components in critical TS systems?
3. Are outsourced personnel used to create the electronic parts?
If world gov't are outsourcing military electronic parts in critical TS systems I would question the mental ability of our leaders or the fact that perhaps gov't world conflict could is being manufactured.

They out sourced all the chip making because they figured by making chips programmable they did not have a concern with them being hacked or having intellectual property stolen. They were no more than a blank disc with nothing on them. But that also created the problem with hacking now. It is done through the chips themselves and not the software running on them. Just think about how computers were all made with a USB plug and play function that bypassed all the software on the computer and allowed DHS to hack all computers that went through the airport by simply plugging in a USB device. Wikileaks has a copy of the programmable software for the USB on there website some where. The USB hacking device could be programmed do anything they wanted. Airports had limited devices but what did the FBI have or the NSA? How about the FBI live CD for hacking WiFi? They could place the CD in a laptop and it turned into a WiFi scanner grabbing all WiFi and passwords MAC addresses of anything near the Laptop. That was later used by Google Cars to hack every bodies house as the car drove by and took pictures of your house for Google Street View. Google got fined and admitting doing it. Just follow the Google Street View timeline and you see the countries that line right up with the NSA and world spying program. You can almost see the rank countries have in it. But all this is a planned with many involved to make it work. Like all the software companies agreeing to allow those USB ports to gain direct access to a computer bypassing software login authentication and so on. It could not be done by a single agency without the help of all computer makers and operating system creators. They might not know exactly why it was such a good idea when they did but they were involved in doing it.

its easy for any programmer to program a usb stick to hack another computer, even I have a device that can do this, clear your windows password at start-up and log into your account with admin privilages. its all software...
again a programmer can create a program that can decrypt a wifi password,(I have one but only works on certain encryptions) you dont even need to create a program that can scan other devices on the network and see their mac address, simple command line prompts in windows can do this.

All in the name of corporations profit and protection. And strange thing is seems most spying has been used for the same thing. Not for the good of the people or for there protection but for that of the corporations.edit on 13-11-2013 by JBA2848 because: (no reason given)
