I think this raises a lot of questions... These attacks go right to the electronics supply chain...
Some questions some people are wondering are...
"Do we need to stop buying new electronics, and keep using our 'vintage' phones, laptops, and computers to make sure we're safe?"
"Will this hurt the economy?"
"Are we going to have to go back to the dark ages to make sure we're safe?"
"How can I live without my smartphone, cellphone, Fitbit, Apple watch, or other carry-around electronics?"
I came across an interview with the former head of the CIA, Leon Panetta...
Not mincing words,
he said about the Israeli action...
"I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism."
"This is going right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: 'What the hell is next?'"
"This is a tactic that has repercussions. And we really don’t know what those repercussions are going to be."
Hopefully they can keep our supply chains safe!
Or... we might be heading back to the "dark ages"...!

P.S. It was about time for me to buy a new phone, as mine's a few years old... I think I might hold off on that now!

What could explode next?
Does it have to be limited to these carry-on electronics?
Could planes ban all carry-on phones, pagers, walkie-talkies, and the like?
Many know that people can be tracked through their cell-phones...
It's a new world when they can now use it to also blow your head off...
I think we don't know all the consequences of this yet...
ĦAy, caramba! (as they say in Spanish!)
