   DHS bought a dog-like robot that it modified with an antenna array to let law enforcement overload people’s home networks to disable any “internet of things” devices, according a transcript obtained by EFF’s Dave Maass and shared with @404mediaco. https://www.404media.co/dhs-has-a-ddos-robot-to-disable-internet-of-things-booby-traps-inside-homes/

     @eff @404mediaco This will no doubt speed up efforts to DDoS the Robots themselves. You don't operate in a vacuum.

     @eff @404mediaco Wouldn't cutting power to a building be cheaper and more effective in 99% of situations than this?

     @eff @404mediaco buying ‘smart’ stuff is not wise.

     @eff @404mediaco Is there a YT channel yet where we can watch these things get taken out by snipers from a distance or by airborne drones or is that still a few months away?

     @eff @404mediaco

     Is it going to self-destruct the first time they use it or does it drag a long CAT6 cable behind it? If you say it's autonomous, please advance the doomsday clock by a few seconds.
