"The US government has known about the flaw since the 1990s, but assumed its adversaries would not be able to take advantage of it,"
Didn't it occur to these geniuses that these weapons might need to be employed someday on someone besides tribal guerrillas, and that all potential adversaries (and even our allies) would have every incentive to find a way to defeat them? Not to mention that "tribal guerilla" doesn't necessarily mean "ignorant raghead". Maybe GG has a point, after all.
