- /u/socat2me 6th December, 2021 - 18:43 It's very unlikely that they've actually managed to "crack" it. They just have some statistical analysis models that can potentially compromise some users based on their usage of it. Basically they are able to tell the real transaction apart from the duplicates in a lot of cases but I'd say that's still pretty far from truly cracking monero.

- /u/socat2me 1st September, 2022 - 08:48 Seems like they'd rather keep the more interesting details to themselves, they were pretty thorough in establishing probable cause just based on the surveillance they were conducting.

- /u/socat2me 28th October, 2023 - 14:40 X-ray penetration of a material does technically depend on it's density, but it's also more ideal to try and shield from x-rays with materials made up of "heavier" atoms with pretty high atomic numbers, like lead (just an extreme example), These have more protons and electrons to scatter and absorb the x-rays. Organic compounds are mostly made up of relatively low atomic number elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Just something to keep in mind since x-rays will pass right through them much more easily. Although that's not to say your thinking was wrong, materials are usually more dense because their atomic constituents are heavier, When it comes to customs, at least in the US--and I'm sure other countries as well--they're implementing WAY more advanced system than the kind of x-ray tech you think of when it comes to getting say an x-ray of your leg for medical purposes. Although X-rays are one of the things that are used. I made a post like a year ago as a warning about some of the programs that I recommend checking it out and using it as a jumping point to learn more about what the technology in development and production can do: /post/b3160966bd00090f6ee1 I do very deep dives occasionally (as opposed to years back when I'd research obsessively). There are certain devices that just from a theoretical standpoint I suspected would eventually get funding for researching and then production contracts and commercial prototypes would likely first be rolled out for use by CBP. Sure enough I found plenty of evidence, and in fact they were much farther along than I had guessed. Anyway IDSS Corporation has won a lot of the funding in the R&D rounds. They essentially use x-ray tomography technology similar to what happens when you get a CT scan. Computerized tomography. It takes a ton of different images from all different angles and then is able to assemble the images into a 3d image. Their models are VERY good at this. Multiple years ago they had an example of a bunch of luggage going through a scanner and you could see the individual holes in salt shakers that were in there. As I mentioned in my post a year ago they have had handheld devices for quite a while that you can point at a substance and based on the absorption spectra and a reference library it can identify it on the spot if it's catalogued. That's a Thermofischer TruNarc, and not an IDSS device, it works using different technology but it's just and example. They're already working on incorporating machine learning and other AI development techniques into their scanning equipment using massive libraries of images of smuggling techniques. You know how facial detection algorithms have gotten so insane from everyone feeding examples of human faces into data miners like Facebook? Similar concept. Also, to bring up another technology you know that thing they use at airports that shoots compressed air around you and has detectors? That's super old tech and it's able to detect trace amounts of certain explosives and suspicious precursors. They've gotten much better with that tech too. One vendor that makes vapor/trace detection is MS TECH. Look up their DUOSCAN. They use HF-QCM(High Frequency Quartz Crystal Microbalance) for most of their stuff, which doesn't penetrate materials the way x-ray does but rather works on surfaces and vapor. And this is just the info that's available to the public or has now been declassified (although to figure out what's being worked on you kind of have to know where to look and follow the money to where research grants go and where they come from). Most of the truly cutting edge stuff is without a doubt classified. This isn't to scare you and it's impossible to vend international safely or something, just to educate.
