"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) banned imports of new, foreign-made consumer wireless routers due to severe national security, supply chain, and cybersecurity risks."

False. That was done by the DoD.

"They already say that they will need to import components. Furthermore, is sounds like they are just assembling the devices here, not manufacturing them. Are they importing the PCBs then just putting them into other imported boxes here? Surely nobody would think that doing this somehow mitigates in any way any "cybersecurity risk"."

Surely nobody would be stupid enough to confuse a solicitation for a bribe with real concern.

I suggest reading Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather, though as always, the most prophetic Cyberpunk novel remains Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. His particular vision of techno-feudalism is rapidly coming true, and it's just as stupid as he imagined it would be. (Obvs the mystical mind virus stuff is not what I mean here.)
