Comment Unfair competition? (Score 5, Insightful) 238

*sniff sniff*, smells like bullshit.
Isn't such agencies should come up with solid proof first, before accusing anyone? Or they became oligarch/multinationals mercenary - like law enforcement agencies in Putin Russia?
What if China cut, in retaliation, and in their traditions - much more harsh way, Apple? 1/4-1/3 of profit gone? (and other countries might enjoy following trend)

This "handy list" is bullshit and not precise at least in one particular entry: Lebanon.
Because Lebanon are not under "blanket sanctions" list, but specific entities (as in many others) is sanctioned.
The only exception is that US companies not allowed to ship any weapons to Lebanon, unless it is Lebanese Army.
Just FYI.

"Almost certainly" without even basic proof, just picked from nose.
Especially knowing, that in our modern age much more decent methods of communications exist.
So agent have to compromise himself buying receiver capable to tune 4625Khz (thats not easy to find), tune to this frequency and listen each day, raising even more suspicions.
While even at good old times they was reading newspapers or listening to local radio for steganographic-like messages, which looks much more innocent.

Absolutely theoretically - this frequency might be, as many others. And buzzer just may work to make sure frequency is not used by anyone else.
But transmitter definitely not, because it will be extremely stupid to run such component continuously, it will be destroyed on first strike. And if it activates dead hand on destruction, then some terrorists might destroy it as well, and trigger noke war.
So, most likely - no. One more myth.
