Disclosing the existence of and the capabilities provided by such equipment/technology to the public would reveal sensitive technological capabilities possessed by the law enforcement community and may allow individuals who are the subject of investigation waerein this equipment/technology is used to employ countermeasures to avoid detection by law enforcement.
