    Too obvious. More like, “We’re going to use slightly less lubricated ball bearings, position the aircraft on the market just where they will buy it, the maintenance specificity will not be documented, and it should kill a couple of important people in 50 years!”. (Loosely inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet)

      I’m not sure the CIA was doing stuff as advanced as Stuxnet in its LSD days when it was supplying Iran.

      Though now that you mention it, I’m surprised we’ve never heard of the CIA doing more things like obscure Stuxnet style sabotage on leaders’ aircraft and the like.

        Just cause you dont hear about it doesnt mean it doesnt happen. Its entirely possible for that type of shit to be caught by say maintenance crews and just dismissed by said crew as a manufacturer defect or something.
