US Spy Chiefs Reverse Course on Phone Spying — But Just For Huawei

“The FBI and other US intelligence agencies are suddenly and ever so deeply concerned with preserving your smart phone privacy.  Testifying before the US Senate Intelligence Committee, officials from the FBI, CIA, NSA, et al. warned Americans against using phones made by Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE.  Why?

“Store owners, growers and distributors are being forced to use cash because most banks won’t open accounts for them while the federal government still considers marijuana illegal.  As revenues inevitably increase, they will be lugging larger stacks of 50s and 100s to the tax collector, a situation that everyone agrees makes businesses vulnerable to thievery, violent crime, money laundering and extortion.”
