Israel's Shin Bet recently broke a terror cell allegedly run by French-Palestinian lawyer Salah Hamouri — even though the cell used encrypted phones. If encryption is unbreakable, why do encrypted plots keep getting busted? This episode unpacks the gap between encryption marketing and operational reality.

The math is solid, but the human and operational layers have leaks everywhere.
