I had exactly the opposite reaction. Tools like flipper zero are trivial. Banning these make as much sense as banning the next designer drug. Yet that's the idiocy we default to, and the logical conclusion is the "War On Electronics."
Manufacturers have been reckless, featurizing their products and ignoring basic expectations of their customers. It isn't unreasonable to expect that some low life knucklehead can't just toy with your car for a minute using a ~$5 transceiver and drive way without so much as an alarm going off.
I don't disagree with the premise that car manufacturers should do better, but the same people that insist messing around with a Flipper Zero is Serious Business tend to be the same people who say regulation of things like vehicle standards and an unwelcome interference with the free market. I stand by my claim that the headline reflects a childish mindset instead of looking at both sides of the issue.
The mature mindset being the frictionless acceptance of new laws to empower more minders and more law enforcement to utterly fail at preventing new "crime."
