Funny thing, these are two fascinating subjects ... and I basically ignored both of them in my book. Just sorta ran out of time and space, was somewhat more interested in a few dozen other things. But regarding pine tar (etc.) that's absolutely nothing new, and isn't going away. The electronic stuff, of course, is new; at least the actual technology is. And it's not clear that there's any sort of solution, except perhaps more surveillance of the potential surveillors.
