FBI director says government ‘purchased a tool’ to access San Bernardino gunman’s phone

It has always been a mystery to me why the USA’s officials find it necessary  to tell it all?

Especially when it comes to wars and the security of the country; they have a compulsion to blab everything they know, giving the enemy a good heads up.

We are going to attack Iraq in 2 month – we are going to put a freeze on their bank accounts – we now have a tool to hack into terrorists cell phones; the list is endless.

Did they ever hear of the element of surprise or stealth?

If I tell some guy in two weeks I am going to come over and kick his ass, if he is smart he is going to prepare for it and get all of his brothers and cousins there to protect him.

If I tell a guy in, one month I am going to put a freeze on his bank accounts; if he is smart, he withdraws all of the money the next day.

If I tell a terrorist that I now have a tool to hack into their phones; if they are smart, they are going to make sure they modify their procedures.

If the FBI was smart; they say nothing but continue to listen in on all their information, read all of their text messages as if they were unable to hack into the phones.  I did say if they were smart. 

I always use this example. When I was stationed at Camp Lejeune; the base commander would make an announcement to all the troops that the IG (inspecting general) was going to inspect the base in two weeks.

All of a sudden all of the building were painted – the flower beds were weeded, everything was put into tip top shape for The Man.

In the chow hall we normally had ketchup bottles with holes punched in the lids for salt and pepper shakers – we ate off of steel trays. When the IG got there we had table cloths on the table – regular salt and pepper shakers and ate off of real dishes.

If our people were smart they would be a lot more clandestine than they are. The element of surprise is a hell of a tool.  Get the drift guys????
