I dont see why equipment should matter, they could just do the MITM wherever they downlink to rather than in-aircraft.

Intel has been doing their own fab for a while. While AMD (well GlobalFoundries) does their CPUs, they dont do their GPUs.

That she didn't have anything else to be offended about.

The only people offended are the religious people who dont really know anything about their religion.

Not the same issue at all. All this is is IdiotSquad starting up a bunch of Google Compute VMs as tor exit nodes.

It is not China nor Russia who came up with TOR, it was Uncle Sam which is the entity who funded the TOR project

Guess what else they funded? The Internet.

The US didn't say "If you use your phone, we'll blow you up"

Thanks to the unpaid community volunteers. About the only thing I can point to in the recent history done by a paid team that was mildly successful was the Vector skin. Remember how awesome LiquidThreads was that it got deployed everywhere? Oh wait.

Specifically things like dependency injection and modifying existing libraries to suit your purpose without having to touch the code of the core library [...] When I learned that on the fly I could inject or replace a method in a core object at load time

That sounds like an utter nightmare. 2 + 2 = 4, except when we patched + to mean something else.

DoS the hidden site, see where the traffic ends up. Rinse, repeat.
