The hosts discuss the public nature of patents and the potential for such technology to be used against news readers or the general public via cell tower-like antennas.

They discuss the implications of such technology being public and joke about building their own versions using Raspberry Pi or Arduino to use at political dinners.

He argues that ham radio has languished since the 1950s and needs to be rebranded for the "maker" generation using Arduinos and Raspberry Pis. Curry envisions a system where users "shoot down" signals or interact with satellites through a World of Warcraft-style interface.

They also discuss the "Arduino" platform, comparing the DIY electronics culture to modern-day "Lincoln Logs" or Erector Sets for children and hobbyists.
