U.S. Navy gipped on chips

Navy sold 1000s of counterfeit chips

I'm not sure what scares me more about this story... The fact that our military is using sub-standard chips, the fact that they were buying said chips from people named "Neil Felahy" "Marwah Felahy" and "Mustafa Abdul Aljaff", or the fact that the same supposedly military-grade chips were sold to an unnamed vacuum-cleaner manufacturer.

Is my Roomba one day going to malfunction and blast me with deadly explosives? Is my loyal Dyson going to go commando and blitz the dining room? I don't think I will be able to sleep sound at night knowing my Hoover might suddenly become a really sucky assassin.
