   What can we do to defend ourselves against threats like the Israeli pager supply chain attack?

   Well, for starters, if your threat model includes state actors using shell companies to sell you custom made exploding electronics in bulk, you should stop getting your security advice from social media.

     @mattblaze **my personal equipment supply chain is "OLD DUDES SELLING VINTAGE RADIO EQUIPMENT OUT AT HAMFESTS" and "PILE OF VERY DUSTY CRAP FROM AN ESTATE SALE" so, naturally, I do not have any supply chain problems with risks. (although, "coated with a fine dust of Asbestos and mold spores" is a real risk)

     What if I LIKE buying dodgy counterfeit equipment through Amazon or eBay or Alibaba for supplying my militias?
