According to this which I understand to be a legitimate news source, Dell laptops were specifically used by NSA to insert malware. Maybe Scooter was having legit compromised laptops. !!!!!.

So they intercept Dell machines and then do the switcheroo on the BIOS. Anyone have a link to Scooter's crazy story ? The not opening hte door afraid he'd be killed, some "technician" down in the lobby ?

WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency has implanted software in nearly 100,000 computers around the world that allows the United States to conduct surveillance on those machines and can also create a digital highway for launching cyberattacks.

While most of the software is inserted by gaining access to computer networks, the N.S.A. has increasingly made use of a secret technology that enables it to enter and alter data in computers even if they are not connected to the Internet, according to N.S.A. documents, computer experts and American officials.

The technology, which the agency has used since at least 2008, relies on a covert channel of radio waves that can be transmitted from tiny circuit boards and USB cards inserted surreptitiously into the computers. In some cases, they are sent to a briefcase-size relay station that intelligence agencies can set up miles away from the target.

The radio frequency technology has helped solve one of the biggest problems facing American intelligence agencies for years: getting into computers that adversaries, and some American partners, have tried to make impervious to spying or cyberattack. In most cases, the radio frequency hardware must be physically inserted by a spy, a manufacturer or an unwitting user.

The submarine analogy in that NYT article is staggeringly powerful.

55 what a laugh. Are they getting dumber or are they making us dumber?

“How do you ensure that Cyber Command people” are able to look at “those that are attacking us?” a senior official, who compared it to submarine warfare, asked in an interview several months ago.

“That is what the submarines do all the time,” said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe policy. “They track the adversary submarines.” In cyberspace, he said, the United States tries “to silently track the adversaries while they’re trying to silently track you.”

Lucky he was anonymous. He'll be off to join Snowden if he had his wits about him, giving away priceless policy secrets.
