Marcus Thomas, the former assistant director of the FBI’s Operational Technology Division, told the Post that that sort of creepy spy laptop recording is "mainly" used in terrorism cases or the "most (…)

Here is another iconoclastic prasad from SillyMichel Adzema posted on my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/richard.stapleton.397.
