In December, the Federal Communications Commission banned all future
drones made in foreign countries from being imported into the United
States, unless or until their maker gets an exemption. Now, the FCC has
done the exact same for consumer networking gear, citing "an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons."

Does any US tech oligarch have a DSL, cable or LTE router that
satisfies those new rules?

They probably will source their router electronics from Israeli
companies founded by former Mossad agents, perhaps with ties to
Silicon Valley corporations.

You couldn't be further wrong if you tried. It directly relates to the previous poster's response. A technologist you aren't.

It all sounds like another poorly conceived attempt at encouraging manufacturing in the USA by promoting paranoia and xenophobia. If the

(like "no default passwords") that applied equally to all, it would
make some sense.
