Reports from Wired's "Danger Room" indicate that a virus infected the cockpits of U.S. Predator and Reaper drones. A listener working as a government contractor confirms that the Department of Defense is now fast-tracking bids for anti-virus and encryption software for drone architectures. The hosts suggest the "virus" story may have been planted to secure funding for these contracts.

A security breach involving a man using a fake Secret Service badge to gain access to Secretary Kathleen Sebelius highlights vulnerabilities in federal buildings. The hosts also discuss the location of drone pilots, noting that many operate out of trailers in Las Vegas rather than from forward operating bases. They characterize these security lapses as proof that current measures are largely performative.
