I think "sustained", here, means "twice, for about ten minutes each
time".

On a related note, I herewith offer an additional concept for use by
anyone wishing to re-elevate this conversation:  "tamper-evident".

I am _so_ not surprised.

Reminds me:  Were you aware of the Vodafone Greece caper?  Utterly
fascinating stuff.  USA spooks were among the chief suspects, but the
only guy likely to be able to say died under highly mysterious
circumstances.

(And when's the last time you read an article in _IEEE Spectrum_ that
was better reading than most spy novels?)
