The Pentagon: headquarters of the most powerful military in the world, and now it’s also a place where you can try to win sports crap and actual collectibles from an apparently Chinese-made "Lucky Box" machine!

Somehow, someone decided a Chinese-owned gambling - vending machine should be stationed inside the Pentagon! (Wouldn’t you like to know who?)

Of course, the machine only takes credit cards, so the machine knows who is playing the game, how much they spend, who is likely to have a gambling problem, and who might be compromised? I’m sure none of those names or credit card numbers could ever “escape” and end up in the hands of someone who is not a 100% full-on constitutional patriot?

I'm sure the appropriate steps have been taken. Wouldn't you like to know what those steps are to avoid any potential issues?

I'm sure steps were taken to ensure that it's impossible to have a camera or a microphone implanted in that machine, so it couldn't record the faces, voices, and conversations of the employees who walk by each day.

I'm sure steps were taken so that there is no way to record the conversations or take pictures of those looking into the machine.

WE’RE ALL 100% SURE that there are no tracking devices inside of the products this machine disgorges. All 100% safe, secure and reliable, right?

I'm sure the non-existent video, audio, or still shots that perhaps could be taken by the machine could NOT be used to create deep-fake videos, or send out deep-fake orders. COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE, RIGHT?

I'm also sure that no one in the Pentagon is getting their palms greased by ensuring this machine was placed INSIDE THE PENTAGON.

Will someone please prove to me I’m over concerned about this?

1. Might make sense to let our Congresscritters and Senators know about this.
