Why does the USB port need to even work anyways? It could just be designed to look like a USB port but fry whatever expensive and proprietary phone hacking device they bought from some scuzzy Israeli ‘security’ company when it’s plugged in.


It has to be a once-only effect tho. If it's repeatable, they've got you for some string of felonies.


I wonder what would happen if it was every time, but you never told them it was a USB port


Of course! It charges my personal taser (which I wisely left at home on this trip out of the country).


For using the phone.
