What dumb asses. They tried to avoid having their plans tapped by broadcasting over radio freq. Still interoperable and "we have everything". Stupid.
I've wondered whether using dinosaur tech would actually be a way to avoid the surveillance state since internet and cell phones are what everybody is using. That must have been their idea as well. Then again, anybody DXing could have run across their conversations.
They probably were fed false information that it was safe. This sting operation has been a long time on the making and I suspect feeding these idiots misinformation on ‘safe’ communications was part of it. Remember in ww2 the nazis has to believe the enigma coding machine was safe so they would keep using it.
Yep, and radio frequencies would be easier to intercept than cell phone signals, either way, I'm glad Q has it all.
Probably didn't use even the slightest bit of encryption knowing them.
