@@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx Depends. Encryption still takes huge processing power whether AI or not. Second, encryption takes many forms. If you send a codeword "Frisky" that means all is well but tomorrow it means something else, AI won't be able to do anything. This is why code books are so useful. Use a page, decrypt a message then destroy the page. AI will never figure that out. That is why using codewords and changing them is impossible to decipher without making some kind of connection and that can usually only be done if the codeword is used more than once. This is what brought down Japans purple code and the German enigma machine.

Deuce, very good info for the group. I think a mandatory tool is an SDR. With this you can determine what frequencies are being used and plan your Tx's (preferably data burst modes) adjacent to areas being used. Even better, get a TinySA ultra. You can EASILY configure to monitor large spectrum swaths to find areas to hide. It is more difficult for DX teams to pull your Tx out of a busy section of airwaves. Like the artillery, if you shoot (Tx) then you must scoot!

NVIS (near vertical incident skywave) combined with terrain masking is a very effective way to confuse DF teams, and it only works in the MF/HF bands. The ionosphere is transparent to VHF and UHF, so they don't skip. A data burst mode using NVIS would be very effective, though bandwidth limited.

Great video! It's always the people and tactics. Never the gear or tech. Tools enable tactics. Case in point if you're within 40 mi of the border near a "useful" "trade" route you don't have an fbi drone you have a cartel drone on 24hr overwatch collecting. They are also in the US cell tower infrastructure and correlate the signals from both to identify targets for human collection or surveillance. You've been warned. A GERMAN security conference recently reported on some of the techniques they're using and thier abilities decrypt US leo encryption (it's serous the US electronic posture is currently a lot like the border: Swiss cheese). Our tactics are lagging 10-20 years behind. Never bring a personal device within 50 mi of any operation that has anything to do with the southern border unless you want to end up in a searchable database that already matches your imei to your physical identity (including financial info).

Highly trailed and equipped US Gov. agencies and at minimum, cops, who can call SWAT) *Assuming one man CAN take on a whole team of (American military!) operatives, then where are the (true) stories beyond movies?* Seriously, before holding your hairless nuts in the air and saying how much of an unstoppable ‘man’ you are, *tell me, how times, and who, has ever managed to successfully evade or “eliminate” a full SWAT Team(s), or more capable branch for more than a day or week before ded or jail?* Or god forbid, the DHS Agency, and/or others SOF they can call upon to deal with your buffoonery.

The plan whole impervious thing goes out the window as soon as you’re hit, (though depends on where and how many. But whether you can still function afterwards, and for seconds, minutes or hours, has no bearing on how “hard” you think you are to kill, purely where, what, and how the bullet penetrated. I’ve known plenty of guys like that down there in TX, who all talk and tell stories that intend to give you an initial impression they’re SpecOps Vet, but if you get to know em, find out they were actually dishonorably discharged after a year or two, decades ago, never been in a firefight, much less won a single fistfight. Problem is making being a “badass” “tough guy” their identity, thinking that simply means buying a 30 guns, jacked-up truck, wear camo every day, kill one animal a year, (and even then it’s a stationary deer eating from feeder you habituated it to), and then congrats, you can ramble about your “warrior” ethos to fellow “tough guys”.
