Has anyone noticed the lengths liberal are going to mock Kellyanne Conway's microwave comment?
yet Microwave spy tech has been common knowledge since the mid 80's

coincidentally titled, eavesdropping with microwaves..
and for the liberal literalists
So mock away liberals, and forget a few decades of technology a 15 year old could figure out... :roll:

While too much of our information streams have become infected with endless discussion of the current White House, this week there’s a direct connection to Leon Theremin. So – let’s dive in, shall we?
In case you’ve managed to avoid US news, you might not know that the Counselor to the President of the United States recently speculated to an interviewer that a microwave oven could be used as a spying device, and specifically, as a camera.
And that led to stories like this one:
No, Microwave Ovens Cannot Spy on You—for Lots of Reasons [Wired]
The problem is, what these article claims miss some of the actual mechanics of how espionage occur.
Irrespective of any discussion of the usefulness of this observation, some of the fact checking from the tech press has asked the wrong questions. (This really is a CDM story – just bear with me.)
First, can a microwave oven be used as a spying device? Answer: well, do you mean microwave ovens or microwaves? In fact, not only can you use a microwaves to eavesdrop on people, anyone with some basic electronic skills could build the system themselves. Spying with microwaves is actually reasonably easy.
But strictly speaking, can you definitively rule out the possibility of using a microwave as an imaging device? Probably not.
They didn’t ask the right questions. And they didn’t precisely state the right answer.
And that’s fundamentally what science is about – asking questions, rather than assuming you have the answers already, and being precise in how you state what answers you find.
By that measure, these articles failed, as did I with my initial kneejerk reaction. Thanks to Tessa Lena via Facebook for calling us out on that.
