Anyone else guess that some agency has replaced the BIOS/firmware?
I've heard that many units (now, maybe all) go through a special step along the manufacturing line.
Used to be that the agencies actually had to open up the units and exchange chips.
Now they probably have Political Comrades standing next to the technicians to make sure that all State Directives are being carried out.
Hey, excuse me!!! It's only because I live in the Land Of The Free that I'm paranoid.
