I've Been Thinking:

Sometimes it feels as if we are living out a television sitcom.

An Israeli chief of police left his cell phone in his unmarked car.
The car, of course, was burglarized and the phone was stolen.

Had the phone been locked or had it been a new G-3 Apple, the security system would probably not be too badly preached. But only a fraction of people who are in important security jobs actually lock their phones.

This burglar now has access to the private numbers of the most important and security sensitive people in Israel. The head of the Mossad, the head of internal security, the head of military intelligence just to name a few. He probably now has numbers for the prime minister.

The lucky thief is probably unaware of whose car he broke into.
But just imagine if he was an al Qaeda agent, or a Syrian, or an Iranian contractor. With these cell phone numbers he would have the ability to eavesdrop upon and keep surveillance on the most important people in Israel.

The situation is scandalous.
The ramifications are frightening.
