2) Ha ha
3) The only real non-crime use for crypto is annoying people

By the way, if you think I’m overstating things, the U.S. once had to tear down the entire embassy chancery in Moscow, and rebuild it (for a cool quarter-billion or so) because the place was bugged to hell.
Listen: covert supply chain intervention concerns regarding implantation of listening devices in, say, new buildings in US military bases in Guam are considered really serious. And this is the WHITE HOUSE. Has there been vetting of vendors? Contractors and subcontractors? All labor? We don’t know!
