My understanding is that Mr. O'Brien might mainly be looking at something happening remotely that would activate a device or a phone call. Obviously, the biggest security breach at the moment is the release of information on a confidential report to the press. Aside from that internal security threat, outside the activation of devices, this was all GSOC's own equipment. There is no suggestion otherwise. As Mr. O'Brien said, things have moved along from a technological point of view and these devices would concern remote surveillance. Would that be a fair summary?
