On: Alexa, are you listening?

I solve the sensitive conversation problem by having my device hit an IFTTT task to disconnect itself from the lan. Then I have another task to turn it back on.

Couldn't the intermediate conversation be stored and sent when there's connectivity?

Are you talking about a hypothetical hacked Echo, or a standard unmodified Echo device?

Ahh, I was talking about a hypothetical hacked Echo as described in the article, or perhaps the sort of Echo modified by Amazon due to court order.

I think now that the top-level comment concerned a standard unmodified Echo device, so my comment doesn't apply.
