    Who “they”? Security services are not the hive, It’s not like everyone knows everything pr never misses anything. Or do you think it’s like a game where you unlock the “passive listening device countermeasures” technology and suddenly 100% bugs across the country are found and new bugs can’t be planted?

      Kinda, yes. Now that everyone knows how it works, and they will, because intelligence agencies share this stuff with their allies, it would become a lot harder to pull the same trick again.
