Headline: Wi-Fi sniffers strapped to drones—Mike Lindell’s odd plan to stop election fraud
Key Summary: Mike Lindell, known for his controversial claims about election fraud, has introduced a system called the Wireless Monitoring Device (WMD) that he claims can detect and report Wi-Fi connections in election offices in real time. Lindell believes that a router connecting to the internet could be evidence of election fraud. The system is described as a low-weight, low-power device that uses passive signal detection to identify online systems, including internet routers and devices they connect to. Lindell's plan is to strap the sniffing device to drones that can hover about election offices during the election. Lindell emphasizes that his command center will receive alerts when an online connection is detected, but he doesn't disclose the location of the command center. The system's purpose is to gather information about online devices in election offices, although it can potentially detect unrelated devices, such as cell phones. The system's video presentation states that it provides information like MAC addresses, hardware vendors, and when devices were detected.
