Now that the pandoras box of mass booby trapping electronic devices has been opened, who is to say we won't see tit for tat retaliations with other supply chain attacks?

Will every teddy bear now need to be scanned for explosives before entering the country?

We aggressively scan packages for drugs, explosives, certain precursors, etc.

And forms of this attack have already happened in the past, including intentional food tainting and anthrax.

Yes, you should scan your mail, physical or digital.
