![]() ![]() citizen and former president of the Muslim Community Association here, before his family moved to Egypt in 2003. If they’re doing this to someone so tangentially connected to a vaguely bothersome post on an obscure blog, just how many of us have tracking devices on our cars right now-perhaps because of this blog? Really, is that blog post plus this enough to warrant surveillance?Īfifi’s father, Aladdin Afifi, was a U.S.“There’s always the possibility that the car will end up at a body shop or auto mechanic, so it has to be hidden well. “It has to be able to be removed but also stay in place and not be seen,” he said. He was surprised this one was so easily found. Batteries die and need to be replaced if surveillance is ongoing so newer devices are placed in the engine compartment and hardwired to the car’s battery so they don’t run out of juice. The former agent, who asked not to be named, said the device was an older model of tracking equipment that had long ago been replaced by devices that don’t require batteries. ![]() Is the FBI’s car surveillance technology that lame? Don’t they have bugs that are a bit smaller and less obtrusive? Or are they surveilling so many people that they’re forced to use the older models as well as the newer, smaller, stuff?.This weird story poses three sets of questions. Here’s the story, told by the student who found it. you can put a bag in a million different places, there would be no way to foresee the next target, and really no way to prevent it unless CTU gets some intel at the last minute in which case every city but LA is fucked…so…yea…now i’m surely bugged : / i mean if terrorism were actually a legitimate threat, think about how many fucking malls would have blown up already. i mean all you really need is a bomb, a regular outfit so you arent the crazy guy in a trench coat trying to blow up a mall and a shopping bag. He found it hard to believe Khaled meant anything threatening by the post.īombing a mall seems so easy to do. He hadn’t seen it before and doesn’t know the details of what it said. It had “something to do with a mall or a bomb,” Afifi said. Near as he could tell, what he did to warrant the FBI’s attention is be the friend of someone who did something to warrant the FBI’s attention.Īfifi retrieved the device from his apartment and handed it over, at which point the agents asked a series of questions did he know anyone who traveled to Yemen or was affiliated with overseas training? One of the agents produced a printout of a blog post that Afifi’s friend Khaled allegedly wrote a couple of months ago. He found the tracking device attached to his car. He’s 20, partially Egyptian, and studying marketing at Mission College. ![]() They’re tracking a college student in Silicon Valley. ![]()
