Exactly! It’s going to be a flying wiretap with every enemy of the US scrambling to get their electronics in before Qatar closes the deal with Trump. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were eavesdropping circuits baked into the silicon of every system in the plane.
What a fucking nightmare - but on brand for this kleptocracy of an administration.
To be fair, the Air Force will be stripping it down as they modify it for the needs of the office. But all it takes is one thing missed to be a huge problem. This just isn’t a great idea at all, but they knew he’d jump at it because hey, free plane that he gets to keep.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that the Qatari (Quatarans?Quasars?) know that and will make sure that something without which it can’t function at all or something that the Mango Mussolini will insist on keeping (like a dedicated Truth Social console or a direct line to other dictators, for example) includes surveillance equipment and/or software.
It’s not like they’re going to be able to force him not to use it any more than they could force him not to tweet from an unsecured phone in the oval office and the presidential bedroom…
The security implications of this are mind blowing.
i just hope they rigged it to blow up

Yea right, not when the cheeto in chief orders it put into service immediately
