Come on. IEDs are triggered by cellphones purchased off of eBay, and cheapo RC airplane kits sold by the zillions from China.

Only the truly confused would think that steganography over SIP VoIP is some kind of novel and uniquely dangerous thing.

In 1992 as a quick hack, I happened to demonstrate that you can send TCP packets with bad checksums (subtract 1), which provides a near- invisible "covert channel" that penetrates everywhere with very low probability of detection or interception. This channel is still wide open, and a far better channel than stego-over-VoIP for the same target devices.
