Could be nothing. But I found something that could possibly be related to the “when does a bird sing?” Q riddle.

In this 2018 article: https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/voice-assistants-hacked-adverserial-attack-birds-chirping-alexa/

“Hackers use sounds of a bird chirping to hack into google According to the researchers, the manipulated audio files are part of what is called an “adversarial attack,” which is designed to confuse the deep neural networks that help artificial intelligence-powered assistants like Apple’s Siri, Google’s Assistant, and Amazon’s Alexa function.

Using the sound of birds chirping — or edited versions of songs or human speech — manipulated in a way that only the microphone on your smart speaker or smartphone can pick up, the attack bypasses detection from human ears and begins meddling with the A.I. assistant. What sounds like a bird’s song could actually be one of these attacks with hidden commands being delivered to your voice assistant of choice.”

Could the patriots have used this technique to gather evidence leading them to Allison Mack, etc…?
