I purchased the latest smartphone with a slider qwerty keyboard. A Motorola Droid 4 with CM11 and a T5 torx screwdriver from Ebay. The two T5 screws to the battery ribbon cable had been glued. I discarded the smartphone. http://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/2e7lwl/of_mylar_bags_to_block_phone... Nook Tablet with CM 10 arrived DOA. I could not go past the CM welcome screen.

Hours after posting the above thread yesterday, my MIPS tablet #2 was stolen from my room. Were my laptops implanted with GSM and infected with firmware rootkits when they were interdicted? I had assumed FM radio transceiver/beacon implants or badBIOS. Many of the linux /var/logs I was denied permission to read even though I had logged into the graphical desktop on my laptops. A few of the /var/logs were of unknown file type. The type was unknown to the file manager. Had the firmware rootkits not tampered with the /var/logs, GSM may have been reported in the logs.
