A technical paper presented to the IEEE reveals that smartphones can be triggered via remote command injection using electromagnetic signals. Researchers demonstrated that voice assistants like Siri can be activated using amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) on the 103 MHz band. This vulnerability allows attackers to issue voice commands to a device from a distance without an audible signal.

The hosts discuss the push for pilotless commercial airliners, citing reports from Popular Mechanics and the IEEE Spectrum. They highlight a case in Nelson County, North Dakota, where a Predator B drone was used by local law enforcement to resolve a standoff over six missing cows. This is presented as evidence of the increasing domestic use of military drone technology.
