Post Spyplane II : Will they never learn?

It’s beyond normal comprehension to even try to understand the thinking of a government that would sell a VIP aircraft ( B767-300 ER ) to another sovereign country for the exclusive use of that country’s president and then bug the aircraft and hope it would not be detected. Bugs in the toilets ( do people talk in toilets ) ; bugs in the Chinese president’s bed (does he talk in his sleep) and bugs in the seat backs ( the give away).
Boeing say they are innocent , Delta Airlines say they are innocent and Dee Howard Aircraft say they are innocent. The CIA had no comment. Does the CIA think it is above the principles that apply to decent behaviour? Of course it does as has been proved time and time again. Childish games played by children or perhaps foolish games played by fools.
If the Chinese do not turn this into another international incident then it will be because they have an agenda . That doesn’t alter the fact that if I were a citizen of the USA I would hang my head in shame.
