criminals are stupid.

there was a bank robbery near me where after robbing the bank, the
idiot waited for a bus at a bus stop near the bank. not only did he not
wait very long, but he got an express ride downtown and had his photo
taken for free.

Thats about as bad as some guy who claimed his gun would shoot people on
it's own. Of course the gun only shot people it did not like. Thats
pretty amazing, especially since the gun knew who it did and did not
like.....

In both the McAfee & Reality Winner case, it was the journalist who as you
sayed "are stupid" since "all major manufacturers of color laser printers
entered a secret agreement with governments to ensure that the output of
those printers is forensically traceable."
