>Carly Fiorina, who actually used to be a tech CEO and so should have a pretty good understanding of how technology works and the interplay with politics and law enforcement,
That isn't remotely true. Carly Fiorina took an MBA ("a programme for inducing sociopathy in susceptible persons"), and used it for its intended purpose--she crawled to the top of the most convenient hierarchy without ever managing to notice that it was a tech company. Leaving it in shambles by the simple expedient of "removing cost centers" (i.e. people who generated technology that might have even been sold for a profit), she bought her yacht and leaped at the next most convenient hierarchy (a political one.)
The chances of her being able to recognize technology, let alone understand it, are negligable.
