Isn't this a perfect foreign adversary opportunity for spying on U.S. political figures?

Just integrate your own robot dog, or compromise an existing one. And surveillance away.

Foreign adversaries already had Trump installed. Why would they need to go through extra work.

Hell - the new Director of Intelligence is a Russian asset.

Level 3000 hack: compromise security with drone fleas that jump onto drone dogs.

Level 9000 hack: join the pack with a drone attack dog.

I'm sure the secret service is absolutely thrilled.

I'm sure the secret service is absolutely ~~thrilled~~ complicit with his horseshit

Probably.

I have zero faith in our institutions. They'll quietly do their jobs until the dictator has them purged.

And that, your statement, is russia's actual victory prior to trump even being sworn in.

Russia may enjoy how the chips landed. But the wound is entirely self inflicted. 50 years since the US govt gave up all pretense of giving a fuck about anyone worth less than 8 figures. Stagnant wages. The opposition to Republican bullshit is center-right plutocrats with their heads so far up their own asses they cocked up a 2nd layup election against an insane serial criminal reality TV host by running to the right. Best we can do on Healthcare is fucking Romneycare. And the idea of opposing a for real no shit in living color full 3d genocide is met with cries of antisemitism and being told to get over it.

These things are communicating by radio. Whether it's wifi or 4G/5G modem, either can be disabled easily with a raspberry pi and some software.
