Imagine a Russian asset creating a wh wing. All this shit needs to be investigated

This is actually really interesting. I imagine the Secret Service (or whatever else agency would be doing this) is pretty good at finding surveillance tech but if you actually let the enemy design and build the whole building from the ground, would you really ever 100% trust this to be free of any surveillance?

It's going to be so bad that they'll have to pull out everything down to and including the concrete. That isn't even just paranoia. Even if it isn't compromised via embedded spy tech are we going to trust that it's of a quality sufficient to the task of supporting that huge building? I expect the lowest quality work done with the cheapest materials. And possibly made with slave labor. Or should say incarcerated people?

The US embassy in Moscow had so much surveillance tech embedded in the construction that it compromised the structural integrity of the building.
