Texas spent $4.5M in Spy SUVs that scan phones in 3 minutes (letsaddresstexas.substack.com)

Is that effective surveillance? I know SMS is plain text, but anything interesting is probably on iMessage, or RCS, or SSL web, no?

What are they scanning? Are they just trying to figure out what devices are in range?

This is an Israeli company and all the data is almost certainly being sent back to Israel.

Texas has a specific law against boycotting Israeli products as well.

The government of Texas has a disturbing obsession with Israel that doesn’t really make sense.

I wonder if graphene phones are suceptible??

I can’t believe Texans are fine with that. Won’t end well

I'll start wrapping my phone in tin foil btw
