“You weak minded fool! [She’s] using an old Jedi mind trick.” — Jabba the Hutt
Last week’s breach of security by this Chicom femme fatale down at Mar-a-Lago really ticks me off. Just because it involved some sub-first ring of security civilian dolts who allowed themselves to be social engineered silly doesn’t matter. It still happened. And it’s still embarrassingly similar to “No, I’m not; I’m with the Underhills/I’ll have a steak sandwich and a steak sandwich/Cabana six, right?/Bring two bottles of Dom Perignon to cabana one.” Anyone remember that little exchange from the movie Fletch? Yeah, well, it’s funny in a movie – real funny; but it’s not so funny in real life. My guess is that this Asian Evelyn Salt could wield that thumb drive as well as William Fairbairn could a knife. I suppose we lucked out this time, “But it might help to beef up security around the WOPR” (War Games, 1983).
