What makes you think it didn't already do so in the past and thus is a new thing? Allies spy on each other all the time.

I guess US gov would not like to have it be out publicly, but they must understand that this is being at least attempted and US likely does it to Israel, too.

I'm sure they do. I would expect a little bit more, uh, flair to it than "you bought the spyware from us," though.

My point here is pretty narrow: I'm sure Israel spies on the US, and we spy on them. My only doubt is whether TM SGNL itself is an element of that, or whether it's just another flavor of junk software sold to USG to paper over the gaps between technology and compliance requirements.
