Re: Texas and Israel, that old time religion is why.
> A 2017 LifeWay poll conducted in United States found that 80% of evangelical Christians believed that the creation of Israel in 1948 was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy that would bring about Christ's return and more than 50% of Evangelical Christians believed that they support Israel because it is important for fulfilling the prophecy
Also, there’s been a long search for a red cow to sacrifice to bring about ritual purity and construct the Third Temple, which from what I understand is believed by some Christians to be a prerequisite for the return of Christ. The Jewish people behind the search just want a third temple after the Romans burned temple number two a couple thousand years ago.
Which one? There are third rails aplenty when dealing with Israel. The "secret cabal running everything" runs into how obvious the political and technical-military influences are.
right, instead of getting the "Person of Interest" AI, we're getting the locally deployed to the worst type of people for whatever they deem "valid" until someone stops them.
This is an Israeli company and all the data is almost certainly being sent back to Israel.
Texas has a specific law against boycotting Israeli products as well.

The government of Texas has a disturbing obsession with Israel that doesn’t really make sense.

And lastly, a Texas rancher attempting to bring about the second coming by sending red heifers to Israel.

Seems to me that Al-Aqsa being in the way might complicate things, even with the right cow.
Religious cult

I can’t believe Texans are fine with that. Won’t end well
What makes you think "Texans" as a category even know on average? Or are accurately informed enough to understand the full breadth of consequences?
What are they scanning? Are they just trying to figure out what devices are in range?
phone calls and texts. It's not just metadata. You can switch to WhatsApp and Signal, but your whole Rolodex (remember them?) needs to switch too.
I wonder if graphene phones are suceptible??
It's location tracking more than anything, so yes they would most likely be as the use all the same networks as a normal device
Is that effective surveillance? I know SMS is plain text, but anything interesting is probably on iMessage, or RCS, or SSL web, no?
It's warrantless location tracking that they value more than direct interception.
