#72Any chance of providing a time series of the parcel's location?
Re: Delivery for Mr. Assange
#73Interesting experiment. Some of the Twitter posts say where the parcel is, but there is no EXIF data on the images posted. I would guess that either the images were geotagged but are processed to remove it, or the author separately uploads GPS data along with images. Any chance of providing a time series of the parcel's location?
Let's do that /after/ it arrives.

#75This looks straight out from a Hollywood movie. Now, this makes me curious. Who is behind this?

#76Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's possible it won't be detected. Parcels sent locally don't go through nearly the level of security as customs puts foreign packages through.
Isn't it technically a foreign package travelling from the UK (I presume) to the Ecuadorean embassy, which is Ecuadorean soil?

#77It appears the ec2 instance has died. They should put an ELB in front of it (I assume you can get static ips for elbs).

#78How does it holds internet connection? Police will definitely notice it for Julian - and will x-ray it. Then they'll see wires and circuitry inside. Bomb? Would be interesting to see progress...
Alternatively, it is a bomb, and one cleverly prepared to maximize the likelihood that it is opened by its intended target. (Somehow I imagine Mr Assange is careful about opening unsolicited packages these days -- but if he becomes aware of this one, he might relax that standard). Perhaps my tinfoil hat needs adjusting.

#79Hmm... sending a device into an embassy, that is recording data (video), possibly sound, and transmitting it. Isn't this an act of espionage? While cool, this seems like a bad idea to me.
I agree, very ballsy art. I don't believe I have ever explicitly seen a law here in the US (I know this is UK, just comparing) forbidding cameras within a package, but I would think there would be some law on the books somewhere they could apply (not saying that is a good thing, esp in light of recent events).
