[citation][nom]The_Trutherizer[/nom]I mean if the army is flying over a suburb and accidentally drops a bomb. What are they going to say? "Woopsie!"?[/citation]

They invented a system to avoid that!
It was called mappings, and they have existed for thousands of years.
They just happen to be digitalized nowadays.

Accidentally dropping a bomb... its ridiculous, engineering is pretty darn accurate these days, and even without bombsights, physics and ballistics are well known to pilots.

Is uncle Sam watching everything you do, or do they just want you to think they are?

Social Engineering is one of the largest factors in hacking, and since the person who's laptops is claiming to be breached recruits hackers, I am inclined to lean more towards the social engineering of making people believe you are watching them.

A fake security camera works just as good as a real one for a deterrent. Then again if they want to watch you, its not like it would be hard in the digital age.
