So, the hacking incidents reported in the article -- were they traced back to the activation of rogue microchips, or were they (more likely) simply exploits of computer code, like every other hack or virus out there today?
And if the report on microchip security is classified (at what level of classification? Top secret? Semi-secret?), then also would be the "reactions" of those who had access to view the material. They don't let people with lesser security clearance hang around those with greater security clearance, so who, exactly, observed this "shockwave" of a reaction, then let the cat out of the bag to the public?
Besides... those "computer chips" that the Chinese are manufacturing were invented/perfected in the United States, let's not forget. We design the chips, then have the Chinese fabricate and assemble them. A simple comparative x-ray of a known-good chip and that of a Chinese produced chip would eliminate any question within a few hours. We have the blueprints for the design, and would be able to tell immediately if the chips were within specification or not.
The idea is cool, but just remember folks -- there are a lot of crazies running around this world of ours who have a knack for misinterpreting or blowing things out of proportion.
Just call me a buzz-kill, party-pooper, counter-conspiracy-theorist...
