Duncan Campbell in the Guardian: “For more than six months live pictures from manned spy aircraft and drones have been broadcast through a satellite over Brazil. The satellite, Telstar 11, is a commercial TV relay. The US spyplane broadcasts are not encrypted, meaning that anyone in the region with a normal satellite TV receiver can watch surveillance operations as they happen… [A satellite enthusiast who discovered the security lapse last year] tried repeatedly to warn British, Nato and US officials about the leak. But his warnings were set aside. One officer wrote back to tell him that the problem was a ‘known hardware limitation’.”

Brent Sleeper. “Why aren’t more people upset about the illegal arrests and ‘preventative detentions’ of American citizens?”

In addition, support for Radio callbacks at user.radio.callbacks was added to the Tools framework.
