The DEA program is pretty shocking and a great example, thanks for sharing!

The second one sounds more like an interdiction program, where vulnerabilities are inserted into the devices (this is a thing that was in the Snowden documents). The document gives no details. The highlights on the side are from an NYT journalist, not source material.

I disagree that the last example is an example of that. It's still unclear what the scanning was doing.
