Who would have thought that a simply child's toy could actually be used to exploit a security hold in the portable radios that are used by many federal law enforcement agents. Researchers who have found the flaw actually managed to intercept over hundreds of hours of sensitive traffic that were sent without encryption (!) over the past couple of years. Either this is a case of gross negligence, or it might just be too over-confident that nobody in the right mind would actually take the effort to crack or find a loophole.
