As we hear about the pagers in Lebanon that injured more than 2,700 people today, a reminder that one of the things that came out of the Ed Snowden leaks is that the NSA intercepts packages en route to customers to install malware and surveillance devices.

Yeah, we knew that before Snowden. Story made me think of my uncle, RIP, who's friend told him to "buy Cisco, trust me" back in the early '90s. So my uncle bought Sysco. He was pissed at himself until the day he died.

I think Sysco is up about 10% per year on average since 1990 so it's not so bad...
