Fun fact: Computer security has a famous 2014 paper on how dramatically different assumptions and practices must be dealing with the most motivated+resourced attacker in the world, who is after specifically -YOU-.
This is, -literally-, known "Mossad vs not-Mossad."

"If you had doubts about autocrats taking on water for adventures, you may want to reconsider" he said. He encouraged the industry to study its Taiwan risk. After the call, the Semiconductor Industry Association hired McKinsey to take a look. They started with a basic question: What would happen if companies couldn't get chips from the island? A summary of the resulting report opened with a map of Taiwan detailing how integral the island is to the global economy. Taiwan enabled roughly $10 trillion of the world's gross domestic product. It made chips for iPhones and more than half of so-called memory chips for cars, and it led in assembling A.I. chips. The island's semiconductor manufacturing is mainly in Hsinchu, an area where Taiwan's government discouraged manufacturing after World War II because it is next to the sloping beaches that are the best place for an amphibious assault against the island.
The chip industry needed McKinsey to tell them that Taiwan is existential for them

Not ICE. Not Border Patrol. Just the same rotten local cops we've always had

Copaganda is actually pretty thin on the ground in the silent era. Cops were often treated as brutal or ridiculous.
Secret Service agents, on the other hand...
I LOVE the Lincoln Lawyer, David E Kelley the goat of TV lawyer writers.

I believe it's the greatest cop show ever.
It nails the spirit of cops.
My final words on it are:
Baltimore PD helped make the wire.
LAPD spent a LOT of money to fight production of The Shield.
More entertaining that most generic law and order episodes
